A "Public Service Announcement" From UXWBill!
This is nothing more than an extremely cheezy and silly spoof of the late 1980s "this is your brain on drugs" advertising campaign.

There's a danger that this might become a regular feature on my channel. Have you seen or personally experienced this particular problem?

Having to use a specific web browser to use a web site, now that is truly quaint.*
Using one's real full name online is a bad idea from security and personal safety points. Youtube even clearly cautioned against it at one point. In any case, uxwbill is who I *am* here!
This video also serves to confirm that another of the OptiPlex 760 systems is alive and well. Yes, that is Windows 7 you see. It's running in 64-bit mode. No, I'm not any more fond of it than I was at first, and I am not going to use it as a "daily driver" computer. No, I have no plan to make a video about Windows 7 and/or what I think of it.
Fun fact: Windows 7 asked me if I'd like to use my Sony HDR-PJ200 camcorder to speed up my computer's performance after I plugged it in to upload this video. I should have said yes, just to see if ReadyBoost would have actually worked!
* Please don't point out that many line of business and enterprise applications are still utterly dependent upon Internet Explorer since they're mired in ActiveX hell.
When is someone at Youtube Central going to say "no more features, no more feature changes, no more anything new unless and until everything that's broken is fixed"?
And of course, tags: google plus is extremely annoying, do not want, go away, scram, beat it, google, plus, uxwbill, begone! (and of course) "MOOLER CASTER!"

This is nothing more than an extremely cheezy and silly spoof of the late 1980s "this is your brain on drugs" advertising campaign.
What you're actually seeing is the result of a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 1500 4x4 with a 4.8L V8, 4L60E transmission, and 3.42 rear end gears pulling a thousand pound or so trailer into an oncoming wind through the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. I was returning home after helping one of my "bothers" move to North Carolina. Now you know why the my brother the Keykeeper and I changed many of the truck's fluids, including the transmission fluid and filter.
Fuel mileage was very stable at about 10.5 miles per US gallon of fuel, with one very curious excursion to 13. It would have been interesting to know how the larger GM 5.3L V8 would have done. This little 4.8L V8 was working plenty hard. (It will manage 17 MPG or so when unloaded and allowed to be in overdrive on the highway.)
We had no breakdowns or problems, but I sure saw a lot of people who had! And yes, I'm very easily amused, which is the entire reason for this video. Don't be hatin'.
Oh, and as I once said to the Keykeeper while riding along in the BBPOJ: "That is one TALL second gear!"

Snowed in, and the best idea I come up with is to amuse myself with the blender and some lemon flavored iced tea powder. I've said it before--a bored UXWBill is a dangerous thing.
Well, at least I didn't attach the can to my ceiling fan and wait for it to break free and smack the wall in an effort to break the clumps apart. (That did once happen with a cheap pocket radio that I once turned on and secured to the ceiling fan. It's a long story. Think "surround sound" and consider my weird sense of humor. :-P )
