I can't bileive this! Please stop taking those serious pills, they're bad
for you and seriously affect your social skills ;-)

However the person who added this to the MOTD is lacking origionality. Until
recently I had an old green screen composite monitor (Taxan brand) which
my father used to use on the work PC about 10 years ago (FYI the work PC
was an origional IBM Portable PC which I could barely lift) The same
message that appears on the MOTD was stuck onto the top of this monitor after
someone plugged it into the wrong socket on the back and they spent hours
to work out what the problem was.

Just a bit of PC history for you!

Josh.
