This competition is a lot more organised than I was led to believe.

 

Oh, the other day Colin gave me a verypc usb drive in the shape of a key, who's idea was that,I love it?

ALSO - it kinda looks like the hunt is over judging by those crosshairs - barring any last second interventions by Jack Ryan et al.

The shoddy-ist of edits, but it'll do.

It might have stopped working as a flash drive but does it fulfill its real, secret purpose? They use them to boot Al up every morning.

I've not done a picture yet, so yay me, thats a bonus bringing me up to 3 entries :)

Yep, confirmed. You're on 3 entries now. Well done.

 

I'm gunna use the further edit done by @X-13 below as a way of putting both your pics on the wall without doubling up the octo-bear, but you still get your bonus @nephilim

I'm trying to think of a name for that Al version... I'm struggling.

 

All I can think of is "The BodyguALd" or "the TerminALtor" [because it looks a little bit like Arnie "give me your clothes and your motorcycle" Schwarzenegger]

Ah, I thought it was a Star Trek uniform and was going for Captain PicAld. I see now that it isn't. *thinks*

Oh yes. There is a file, and you are in it, so watch out.

 

Actually, it's a worksheet in an Excel spreadsheet with a few usernames in a column that say, 'pic', 'morgan freeman' or 'theme song' next to them - just so I don't accidentally award too many bonus entries.

 

Those USB keys are cute yes, but the casing is a bit thin and they don't always make contact with the pins because they have no surround to stabilise them in the port. For this reason we'll not be re-ordering them I'm afraid - have to find another nice design that's a bit more robust for the next batch.

Is that me as some sort of Star-Trek styled Jack Ryan defending the octo-bear from the hunt?

 

Re USB key: see my comment to @sparkeh above. The design is cool but because it lacks a stabilising surround, they don't always make proper contact with the pins in the socket - we'll be ordering something a bit more robust next time.

It's that first line *inserts key* that's got me most concerned about this boot-up procedure.

I thought it was a Star-Trek (TNG era) uniform too.

No worries, it just slots into the Albot Rear Secure Extention port...

Hang on!

Why is Al protecting a Communist bear and Octopuss assault sqaud combo in the first place?

Given that Al is a marketing guy he is a capitalist and not likely to agree with the bears seizing the means of production.

 

Or does he just love bears and Octopuses?

Posted
Doesn't EVERYONE?

Bears of course, I mean, that doesn't even require questioning, but...Octopuses?

Though that is a cute Octopus...and its riding side saddle...but then after viewing Al's aggressive capitalist marketing in the vids I'm not sure.

Perhaps he is saying "Leave it, these suckers are mine" Bam Bam.

for the wall.

 

Power button works better or is that F12 to either PXE boot or choose a different boot location to re-image said PC ?
