I'm sure your friend google can solve the problem for ya.

Nah, I got a notebook with Windows 10. I think I figured out what the prof was talking about, he just sucked at explaining it.

Care to divulge what the assignment is?

I only got partway through it before moving on to something else, but basically I had to download a zip folder with a bunch of files in it prepared by the professor, extract it to C drive, and then use a bunch of command prompt actions to do various things with it.

Simple enough. I don't miss the DOS days, but it was fun going into a Radio Shack and typing format c: /q on all their PC's.

I had to look that up, but lol. Command prompt stuff is one of the things I'm looking forward to learning. It's cool, and It'll be good to show off to my family to inflate the sense that I'm mastering something, since it's all just gobbledy**** to 99.9% of people. Too bad it won't impress the ladies.

Edit: Too bad Radio Shack is pretty much dead. I'll have to check to see if Best Buy has any computers that you can actually access.

It'll impress the smart ones. Kind of. Maybe.

...and you can't just format newer PC's C drive without a boot disk.

Methinks you're just fooling yourself. Just stick with the dirt bike scars.

And any other ways I can **** over corporate Nazi display computers within 30 seconds?

Baseball bat? I dunno... I haven't had those kinds of malicious thoughts in a while. Poke around in the registry and delete some ****. Regedit is your tool for destruction in this case.
