If you're over at a friends house and you accidentally knock over his I-Opener onto the floor, I think it'd be really funny if you quickly stomped your foot down on top of it and say, "Got it! Almost got away!"

Next time you're pulled over and as the patrolman approaches your window, take charge of the situation by asking his name before he can say anything. Then after you get his badge number say, "I'll be with you in a moment" and act like you're typing in the info into your car-mounted I-Opener, getting HIS criminal background. Not only does this put you in charge of the situation, but it also provides much needed comedic relief for the stressed out officer.

I don't know if you've noticed, but vacations sure seem to stress people out. Why, just the other day a neighbor of mine went on vacation and I agreed to watch his house for him while he was away. It was relaxing, using his jacuzzi, using his nifty I-Opener. I thought, he's really going to appreciate how I've taken such good care of his place that he probably won't mind missing a few brews from the fridge. Incidently, don't worry about responding to my previous post here asking how to get beer and chlorine residual out of an I-Opener, because I came up with a solution. I took it with me in his shower and washed it thoroughly.
When he came back he looked so stressed out I thought he was going to have a stroke or something. I wanted to offer him a beer from the fridge and suggest we relax in the jacuzzi, but it seemed to be the wrong time. Oh, and he's out of beer, too. Jeez, chill out, man.

When I first opened the box, took out the iOpener and set it up, my wife laughed and said it looked like the little jumping lamps at the beginning of "Toy Story". (the Pixar characters)

I thought that was funny. It was even funnier when I made the thing jump around the table. (don't worry, I wasn't actually hitting the table)

An idea came to me the other day when I was watching the old Star Trek series, and good old Captain Kirk had to save everyone from their runaway computer by having it calculate the exact value of pi. I guess this could really smoke your computer for good, so I'm too nervous to try it out on my I-Opener. Maybe it would be an OK thing to do, like, if you used one of those fancy new tools that 'Programmer' has come up with to add the PhoenixNet spyware service to your BIOS. "Logical", as Spock would say.

I heard that the reason why we say there's a 'bug' in a computer system is that a long time ago a real live insect got in an early computer and caused all sorts of weird behavior. Now this really got me thinking. What if that had never happened? How would we describe our computer's erratic actions? Maybe we'd say, "Yeah, my I-Opener is totally plastered, yep, 3 sheets to the wind." You see? Already it seems a little further down the path to true artificial intelligence! I wonder if there'd be a 12 step program to sober up your computer?

Here's something to remember if you're ever in the 'Land of the Giants' (old TV show) and a giant happens to pick you up. If he sees your I-Opener and asks what it is, and you tell him, "It's my I-Opener" I bet there could be a real misunderstanding.

The business world is a strange place. George Lucas is suing a bunch of doctors because they want to call their light-powered scalpels "Light Sabers". http://slashdot.org/articles/01/07/28/1334256.shtml
Sheesh. That's almost as bad as Gateway suing Tucows over their use of cows in advertising. Then I start thinking, "Maybe this could be a good idea, I mean, it MIGHT work, right?" Maybe Netpliance could raise some money by suing everyone that has "io" in their name. Let's see, Sony Vaio, Visio, Leonardo de Caprio, everyone who's a Scorpio...

If you go to buy an internet appliance and they want you to sign a T.O.S. agreement --in blood-- DON'T DO IT!
You'll just be sellin' your soul to the Devil, man.

If your I-Opener has taken over your life and you lose your job, your wife takes the kids, house, and dog, and the bank repossesses your car, what will you do? What will you do? What I think you should do is to hold on to that I-Opener, because you know, that's all you got now.

Gramps sure is kinda lonely after grandma died. Poor old guy. He's been wanting me to take him to some church meetings and all, so he can maybe "find some hot babe" he says with a wink and a nudge. Of course there's no way I'm going to a geezer convention, so I sell him on meeting a "babe" in a chat room. I got him to buy an I-Opener as he has limited space in his rest home, and doesn't need a regular computer to get on the net. So we're having some great 'quality time' and all, and connect up his IO, but we can't get online! I tell him, "Oh well, gramps. I guess they closed down the internet." Poor gramps.
Man, this sure is a nice IO I have now. Besides, gramps really needs to get out more often.

They say that God is everywhere, in everything. So I'm wondering, if I want to format my IO's hard drive, won't that disturb Him? ----"HEY, I'M IN HERE!----

People are really strange. In the movie 'Crash' with James Spader and Holly Hunter there's a whole mess of people that get all hot and horny when they see a car crash, and just about orgasm if they're the lucky ones involved in a crash.
So, my IO Win 98 machine crashed and I had this great idea. I'll call the ol' lady into the computer room for a little 'quick format' of my hard drive.
Do you know what she yelled back from the next room?

-"It's Windows 98, what do you expect?"-

Sometimes I think there is just not enough coffee in the world. Then a thought occurred to me. Hypothetically, maybe we could save enough coffee beans over the years and then brew them all at the same time so that the entire ocean were coffee. I don't know what this has to do with computers, but it sure would be an eye-opener for all those fish.

They say there's a lot in a name (especially if your name is Lot, I'd imagine). Take Bill Gates for example. Windows is just his 'gate' for taking in money from giving us 'the bill'. Have you ever noticed that sticker on the shielding inside your I-Opener, that in essence says, "Don't Open"? What do they expect when they give it a name like I-Opener?
I think names really do mean a lot. When my daughter was born, you can be sure I was thinking ahead to when she would succeed in the adult world. That's why I named her Castratia.
