>Here's a weird one. Just a few minutes ago I was strolling through my hard
>drive, getting rid of old apps and files I no longer need. I came to my
>Internet folder and trashed an old copy of Newswatcher. Then I found
>Microsoft Inernet Explorer 3.0 sitting there, I had DL'd it a while ago to
>test my web pages on for compatibilty, but never used it for brwosing. I
>decided I didn't need it anymore, and getting rid of it would allow me to
>throw out a bunch of MS extensions as well. Here's the scary part. I threw
>it in the trash, but when I went to empty trash (it was the only thing in
>there) my speaker emitted a loud staticy noise, like TV-snow noise, but it
>also sounded sort of like it was hissing at me. Then the computer froze
>hard, I couldn't force quit anything, and was actually really scared it
>had fucked my HD. When I restarted all seemed fine, and it deleted without
>any fuss, but Jesus, is it just a coincidence that my rock solid OS 8,
>which hasn't hard-froze in weeks, chose to do so right when I deleted an
>MS product, or is Microsoft in the business of demon-possession?
