The other week

 

I needed a cup holder. 

 

Bollocks, you beat me to it.

Prove it with photos if you dare. (the cup has to be full)

Nothing to see here - move along.

A few months ago, when I was building my computer. Needed Windows 7 and actually, for once in anyones life, needed a driver disk.

 

But the driver disk didn't work. So I had to wait until the internet started working again to be able to download my GPU drivers.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Desktop: i5-4670k - 8gb 1600MHz - MSI 7850

Laptop: i7-4810QM - GTX 870m - 8gb RAM

1.5 years ago, installing Guild Wars 2... although now that I think about it, I might have just downloaded the client off the Internet and only used the license key from the case. So it's been a while! Everything comes from the Internet or USB-sticks these days. My current PC doesn't even have a disc drive in it, and when I last upgraded my old one I didn't bother plugging the disc drive to the mobo/power.  :)

I have yet to make an update page for the game I'm working on, and since I don't want to goto dropbox to download, and then install all the stuff, I just burn CD's for the iterations, since I have hundreds of them.

I used it to install Debian 7 a few months ago cause there was this weird bug when booting from USB.

To install windows. Now it won't even work because I disconnected it (it's just sitting there), the cable of that drive was ruining my cable management :P

Probably about a month ago to rip cds to .flac. I don't believe in mp3.

Altrough now that I use Spotify, I don't rip nearly as much cds. Can't notice much difference (if at all on most songs) between flacs and spotify's format (320kbps ogg, was it?).

Few months ago when I tried to install Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator's student software on my desktop.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

A few days ago I had to install a network driver. That disc saved my life!

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.
