Virtual Memory
Anyone ever heard of it? If you haven't, all I can say is don't f**k with it. A harsh lesson I learnt last night.
On trying to saying a whopping great WAV file last night, I was told by the programme to increase my virtual memory (and it gave me instructions).
As I messed with it, the computer threw up boxes saying things like, "Are you serious? Goddamn!" and "No, really, you're an idiot, it'll blow up" but being over-confident about PCs, I merely smiled wryly and continued regardless.
Needless to say, when I restarted the computer, it was f**ked. Couldn't run a single programme, just got loads of horrible not-enough-memory type ripostes. Couldn't get into anything, least not the place where I f**ked things up in the first place.
Anyway, thank my atheistic non-lord for those lovely spotty teenagers at work who sorted it, after cacking me up by saying, "No idea, but I'll have a look." (Usual translation: ice-cube's chance in a sauna.)
Couldn't sleep properly, and bit moody first two lessons till issue resolved.
We build our whole world round computers; and get surprised when it comes crashing about our heads.
