Else, aput speculated about why the word 'defenestration' is getting a lot of play. He mused, "I would presume the contemporary use of 'defenestration' is in removing Windows -- to install Linux or Unix."

This triggered a morning-after recall of a song I heard last night, on the car radio, while driving to festivities.

(to the tune of "When I'm Cleaning Windows" by George Formby)

I bought a new computer; It cost two thousand pound;
But every time I switch it on it keeps on falling down.

I used to think it was my friend
Now it drives me round the bend;
You'd be surprised the time I spend
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

I switch it on but what is this?
There's something wrong with CONFIG.SYS?
This isn't my idea of bliss,
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

Reboot again and what is that?
I've gone and lost my SYSTEM.DAT?
Would you ever credit that?
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

I want to share my printers and I want to share my files.
I want to share my anger 'cos it drives me bloomin' wild.

Load disk four, oh what fun!
It says it helps you get things done;
Every day now everyone's
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

Load disk ten and it will say
All you do is plug and play.
So why do I spend every day
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows?

It can't locate my printer and it can't locate my mouse;
The other day it told me they were in Bill Gates's house.

Still unplugged, still unplayed,
I've E-mailed God in search of aid.
He's far too busy he's afraid,
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

Up at dawn for one more try;
Does it work? Can pigs fly?
How do I expect to die?
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

It doesn't like my modem and detests all CD-ROMs;
Let's see if Setup Wizard recognises bombs.

I used to like a drink or three;
No time now, don't call for me;
I'm going to spend eternity
. . . . . .Reinstalling Windows.

A real keeper, Hic! Shu and I had that wonderful occasion on our home computer, recently!

I loved aput's use of "defenestration!" I highly recommend that Microsoft begin to use it!
