I took in the laptop for repairs today (couldn’t figure out what was wrong). The man who helped me out had such bad handwriting. He wrote down his name on this form so that I could refer to him if I needed to later on. I tried reading it out loud, but then stopped halfway and just asked him what it said.
I’m using the ol’ computer that’s still running on Windows 98. It’s got a really noisy fan and it runs slower than what I’m used to, but it works fine. There aren’t any fonts on this comp that display non-english characters, so I see a lot of ? characters in its place. Every time I see those, it reminds me of a time when I used to play this game with a friend of mine. It’s an online multi-player game that’s like Bomberman. We’d download the software and then play it in the computer labs at school. The game was in Korean, which neither of us understood, and all of the characters showed up as ??? on the screen. So we couldn’t tell what the other players were saying in the chat during the game. One day I decided to play a joke on him and I typed in a bunch of question marks like this – “?? ?? ?! ??? ???? ????”. I did it a couple of times, and my friend thought I was typing in Korean and became annoyed/jealous. Just thinking about it now cracks me up. ![]()
