Another case of deja vu!  :D

Yes Thunder, it certainly can.

Gil, we all know that reality doesn't exist in the state of Illinois. NOTHING that happens anywhere else seems to happen there. At least not in Gilville, IL.

No, he lives in Illinois. I always like to say that he lives in Gilville because he always seems to be in his own little world, where nothing happens that happens anywhere else.

The fire alarm just went off in my dorm. It was around 10:40 and I was sitting at my computer, and I hear this loud buzzing or something... I figure it is probably the fire alarm, so I leave my room and close the door. I meet everyone else outside, and some vans from the university come, and the police arrive. About 10 minutes later, we are allowed to come in. I go by my room to see the door hanging open, and there is a guy there waiting for me. He says the alarm was triggered in my room. So they had to reset the alarm in my room, then they had to replace the smoke detector. Apparently, the detector in my room had gone bad, so they gave me the old one after they installed the new one.  :wacko:

haha I hate it when any campus waits until the last day of summer to test out fire alarms...your situation wasn't a test though...it might has well been :p. Well at least your alarms didn't stay on constantly for over an hour like they were doing at my school yesturday, it was ridiculous so we left to lunch by then the alarms where shut off.

Will too much computer usage hurt you eyes?
Possibly. My eyes hurt sometimes when I use the computer. I try to limit my time on it, but I can't. :(

I think youtube is fast today. I uploaded an emulator video which was about 5.5 MB, and it only took about 45 seconds.

Wow, and I thought I would have the highest. My connection up in Marlton, NJ is still a lot better than many of yours (no offense).

Here's mine that I recorded from a few weeks back...
