This one definitely belongs in the Geek Forum!

I got this mail a while ago from one of my friends. It drove me crazy until I replied.

This is going to be the most fucked mail you have ever receive! But I'm almost done with my CV and I started to... well I... was trying to figure out... I kinda wanted to know... not that it's a contest... I really just kinda noticed... Kind of a Fleeting Thought... Well... I was pondering... I mean... I was just kinda wondering...


How many lights do have on your computer system?


I have:

1 on each monitor;
3 on USB keyboard;
4 on remote keyboard receiver;
1 on gamepad;
9 on modem;
1 on SubWoofer;
3 on Tower;
2 on Removeable HDD Bay;
1 on CD ROM;
1 on CD Writer;
1 on Stiffy Drive;
2 on Network Card; (suspect)
1 on mobo for str;
2 on printer

That's 32 freaking lights! (me thinks)

Is that healthy? Man, that's fucking Phoenix!

The only thing freakier than this mail would be if someone replied.


Here's my reply:

I SO FUCKING HATE YOU!!! YOU BASTARD!!! YOU WILL FUCKING ROT IN HELL FOR THIS!!!

I have:
9 on monitor (fuck you I don't have kewl kick ass 17" monitors like you) 4 on my keyboard 1 on my speaker 2 on my writer 1 on my stiffy drive 3 on my case 1 on mobo for str 2 on lan card 5 on printer

I think that's all

i gots an internal modem so no lights there. Neither do I have a gamepad, 2nd keyboard, or removable hdd bay. Hey, come to think of it, if I did have all that shit I'd have more lights than you

so that makes 28

i so fucking hate you.


What about you guys?

Ah, this topic is substantially less lame than most have been lately. Useless, yes, but interesting.

3 on the monitor (HD15/BNC indicator, power indicator)

11 on the DTT2500 amp (music, movie, fourpoint, stereo, dolby digital, prologic dig in, prologic analog in, left only, right only, power, mute)

1 on my floppy

2 on my dvd

1 on my cd-r

4 on my nic (link, activity, 100mbit, full duplex)

0 on my keyboard (it's wireless)

0 on my mouse

9 on my usb hub (power, 4[two per port])

4 on my printer (power, paper, black, color)

1 on my scanner (power)

16 on my switch (power, 5[link, 100mbit, fdx])

4 on my modem (power, carrier, off hook, data)

Plus a bunch more on my fileserver, which has a floppy, cdrom, nic, and wired keyboard. Yeah, I'm inundated with LEDs.

let's see...
4 on my dsl modem.
10 on my hub (usually only 7-9 are lit, though)
2 on my case
6 on the nic
1 on my monitor
3 on keyboard
3 on cdrom, floppy and zip drive
and on my 2nd system,
6 on the monitor.
2 on the cdrom & floppy
2 on the nic
and 2 on the case...
that totals up to 41.
if you add in the phone and tv, etc., this room lights up like a christmas tree at night.
