I downloaded a program last night at 1:00am
that was supposed to be like a car alarm for my computer. You activate the program with a remote control and if someone touches your computer or tries to take it, it makes a really annoying noise and locks down. Well, anyway, I couldn't get the remote control to activate it for some reason so I went ahead and activated it manually. Right after I did that I tried to deactivate it with the remote and it didn't work either (should have seen that one coming). It was then that I realized that I had no idea how to shut it off (I didn't read the directions). I thought maybe if I hit the spacebar it would ask me for a password or something and all would be well. Boy, was I wrong. I hit the spacebar and the computer freaked out. It started making the world's most annoying car alarm sound and it automatically cranked the volume on the computer. My windows were open so everyone in my apartment complex thought was breaking into a car in my apartment. I hit every button on the keyboard and I could not get it to shut up! I panicked and unplugged the whole thing but it kept going off because it is a laptop and has a battery. I took it into the bedroom and smothered it with pillows to try to make it stop but it barely did anything so I added more pillows and my down comforter. Now it was down to a whisper so quickly I uncovered it, turned it over, and yanked out the battery and it finally shut up. Needless to say, I deleted the program immediately after I put the computer back together. I am pretty sure all my neighbors hate me now.
