Kosher Computers

I don't know if you know this but they are now selling Kosher computers (Made in Israel). Called a DELLSHALOM. It is selling at such a good price that.. well.. I bought one. Mine arrived yesterday. If you or a friend are considering a kosher computer, you should know that there are some important upgrades and changes from the typical computer you are used to, such as:
- The cursor moves from right to left.
- It comes with two hard drives: one for fleyshedik business software and one for milchedik games.
- Instead of getting a "General Protection Fault" error, my PC now gets "Ferklempt."
- The Chanukah screen savers include "Flying Dreidels"
- The PC also shuts down automatically at sundown on Friday evenings.
- After my computer dies, I have to dispose of it within 24 hours.
- The "Start" button has been replaced with "Let's go!! I'm not getting any younger!" button.
- When disconnecting external devices from the back of my PC, I am instructed to "Remove the cable from the PC's tuchus".
- The multimedia player has been renamed to "Nu, so play my music already!".
- Internet Explorer has a spinning "Star of David" in the upper right corner.
- I hear "Hava Nagila" during startup.
- Microsoft Office now includes "A little byte of this, and a little byte of that."
- When running "scandisk", it prompts with a "You want I should fix this?" message.
- When my PC is working too hard, I occasionally hear a loud "Oy Gevalt"
- There is a "monitor cleaning solution" from Manischewitz that advertises that it gets rid of the "schmutz und drek" on your monitor.
- After 20 minutes of no activity, my PC goes "Schloffen."
- Computer viruses can now be cured with some matzo ball chicken soup.
- The Y2K problem has been replaced by "Year 5761-5762" issues.
- If you decide not to shut down the computer in the prescribed manner, the following message appears: "You should be ashamed of yourself."
- When Spell check finds an error it prompts "Is this the best you can do?"
