This program is awesome

why?

because it has a feature that lets you watch movies at double speed (and the sound isn't raised up into a chipmunks voice)

* Age of Mythology

I can understand my mega man effect would drive somebody nuts, and I've never seen any need for any type of weather service, internet or otherwise,

but what's the fizzle with Word Perfect, yo?

Weatherbug is a program well-known to basically crash your computer with spyware. Having it ever on your computer at any time essentially means the most beloved word of all computer geeks, "reformat."

Word Perfect is known for its complete incompadability with any other text recording program. It's completely useless all in the same swoop, because you only have it if you happened to cheap out on getting your software packages back in the latter years of Windows 98.

I supposed having to explain the other two programs seems to ruin the joke.
