Sorry about this but I have searched and searched but can not find an old post that went to a website that someone had set to look like a MAC or LINUX desktop, it was very good and I would love to set it as the companys internet machines default web page. Can anyone help.
(May seem a bit silly but you're only as old as you feel)

Okay, what's that supposed to be? I clicked on your link and it said it was downloading stuff from C drive..on a black DOS looking screen! Scared me!:eek: I clicked it closed ASAP. Freaked now, though. ??

Dont worry its just someone thats done a web page to look like you are being changed to a macintosh, just visual web page, quite good though.
Trust me

I remember when iisbob first posted that bugger...like you Kay, when I saw what was happening, my mind was racing..."How do I get out of this thing?" :eek:
I kept thinking...OK, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...there must be some similiarites to a PC to exit from this thing!
And, from what I knew of iisbob at the time, at the core I figured he wasn't a bad apple who'd impose some sort of mischief upon us...like a worm or something!
Ooooooooooooo, I feel a trip to Baker's Square coming on...ala mode! :cool:

HeHe...Yea, that's good! :D
It's already headed to a couple of people I know that bug me all the time with their computer problems. I told them it's a "great new interface tweak that should make their computers more reliable"
I'm going to wait a while and call them on the phone.....STOP!!! Whatever you do, don't click on that link! I sent you the wrong "file"!!!
(I know, cruel :p ) :D

I say this..only half in jest...you guys are mean! I was disconnected/bumped offline shortly after I had clicked on the above link, and spent part of the day wondering if I had started to download something nasty. Sniffle. Kept reassuring myself that ZA or AVG would have caught anything too bad..but still. So, you boys get a "Tsk, tsk!" from this old broad.

HeHe...Sorry Kay- Guess it could be considered kind of mean. ( I already got a "tsk tsk" from sending it to a couple of friends that were equally horrified.. :D )
You getting bumped was just a coincidence. Believe me, it didn't do anything bad to your computer.
Oh...And mjc (or whoever of you edited my link)- Thanks. I actually thought of doing it myself just because of the popups, but when I finally decided I should, it was too late.
(Obviously, it's still basically in tact for those of you that love popups... and pranks)
:rolleyes: :p
Oh, by the way people...The link Kay is referring to is not the one I supplied. ;) :D

Freaked me out too Kay. Don't feel bad I really was kind of thinking how am I going to get out of this.
Very cool
Mark :D :D

LOL--Geez I guess I don't feel so bad now, I was thinking that I must have been the only one freaking out...thanks guys, **sigh** I feel alot better now!:)
I wonder if they make one for windows that we can send to mac users, now that would be a hoot!:D

Haha, you guys! I'm not even touching that link now after reading all your responses even though I know it's only a prank. I'd probably still get too much of a rush from it so heck with that.:p :p :p
