Speakers are cool....
One good thing about the last computer dying like it did, is the fact that this computer showed up with speakers attached.
That's right...the entire time I've been messing around on computers, I've never used one that made noises before. I was so used to that, I didn't even think to plug these speakers in until a day or two ago.
Well, my God....the things I been hearing lately. And, the animals reactions to it are beyond hysterical.
The very first thing I heard, besides that bonging noise when you get your mail, was a donkey braying at a 'karaoke sucks' site that I went to off Dax's page. Mind you, it was about 12:30am when this phenomenon occured for the first time and I wasn't expecting it. I fell out....first the noise itself was funny, then to see all the animals converging from different locations to see what the hell I was doing....Oh, God. (They've never 'heard' a computer, either. All they know is tapping noises from me typing and occasional hysterics from something I've read or done.)
Then, I went to Social Reject's place. This chick has got the coolest shit on her page. Her posts are great to begin with, but then ya start checking out her 'cool stuff'....I think I spent about 6 or 7 hours 'favorite-ing' stuff from there. She's got this one thing...The Idiot Test. Jesus H. Christ....I hurt myself laughing at that. Every cat I own immediately jumped up on this table and began sniffing around, trying to find out where it was coming from. Then, I did that "Poke the Penguin' thing. It's cool in itself, but to hear it....Then, I found that cat that follows your mouse. Well, that thing purrs and meows. I didn't know that! And, they must use a recording of a real cat, because mine went nuts over that.
I even got to hear Mr. Ed on a site (maybe Snopes) where they try to convince you he was a Zebra. (I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning...I know a Palomino when I see one. I also know a Zebra when I see one. Believe me, their conformations are completely different.) But, it was cool to hear Mr. Ed....which by the way is being run again on TVLand. I saw Sharon Tate on an episode the other day. I saw Clint Eastwood on an episode, too, when they used to show it on Nick-at-Nite.
I do, however, have a coupla questions about this: If you can hear some stuff, can you hear everything? Or, do you have to download something to get everything? Is there a way to know ahead of time if a site has sound, besides past experience with said site? Is there a volume control somewhere? I need to turn this thing down a tad. At 12:30am, that donkey was loud. (So was the 'Idiot Test', btw...) Oh, and how do you get the "RioPort Audio Manager" bar to get off the bottom bar, down there with the start button? I haven't totally shut the 'puter off, yet. I suppose that would work, but is there a correct way to make it go away?
Well, I'm off again to find more silly shit to listen to. This is like being on the Net for the first time all over again. So cool...
