install Debian <OLD VERSION HERE>. Better than win 98, no?
Lets do what crazyabe recommends

[crazyabe]

Take out our new backup,
Stick in the Purple floppy.
(Purple floppy Looks to likely have the arcane tools needed to exorcise this computer.)

Well, Mysterious glowing sigils and red scary chains over the dialog aside....

I can see that the default gateway is not defined. This is probably one of the reasons why we are not getting outbound connections. Also, the default network addapter is "PPP Adapter". This implies that it uses a dialup modem, or at least, some version of a null modem cable, or some other "serial based device" over Point to Point Protocol (PPP).

It is possible that the dialup ISP used by this antediluvian horror has gone out of business, or that the user has failed to pay the subscription fee.

Is there another network adapter in the dropdown list, aside from the PPP adapter?

[Dermonster]

[X] A few lighters will do. Anyway, time to sacrifice Eleven Herbs and Spices to the dark tech gods. Retrieve dry erase board and blace flat on ground. Draw a circuity looking diagram on it, stick a chicken leg in the center, and sacrifice it to the local entity with the knife.

[Fniff]

Before we sacrifice, eat a leg of chicken for fuel.
Get grease all over the keyboard as revenge.

[wierd]

Obtain cheetos from the vending machine for maximal "vengeance" effect. Nothing says "You pissed off IT" quite like orange cheeto grease all over everything. Especially stain prone vintage beige plastic from the 90s.  It may also be handy to obtain a bottle of ruby red squirt to assist in the sacrificial ritual. If such a suitably vintage beverage is not available, Code Red Mountain Dew is a poor quality modern substitute. (does not have near the richness in color.)

You file an emergency ticket, don't fill it out properly, and then can't be bothered to even stick around? Prepare to face our passive aggressive wraith!

edit: Also, run arp -a

[Eschar]

Run 'xyzzy,' you fools!

[Gatleos]

Try clicking "release all".

Stand well back of the probable ensuing outpouring of released demons.

You're just going to veto that until you know that it WON'T cause something horrible to happen.

The backup is still in progress! It won't take much longer.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the only option for now. Actually, there might be more, but they could be locked away somewhere that you can't see without various occult magicks.

After devouring some RUBY RED SQUIRT (you have a case under your desk), GREASY CHICKEN, and FLAMIN HOT CHEETOS (vending machine in the hall), you begin to construct a sacrificial altar.



First, you find a dry erase board in a nearby office.



Next, you create a suitable sacrificial seal.



Next come the sacrificial offerings.

...You need some appropriate music before the Satanic IT Ritual can begin.

Load the Xyzzy floppy. See what's on it. Run stuff on it after the IT ritual.

[Dermonster]

[X] The ritual begins. Rise! RISE! Come forth from the realm of code and hatred! Show us the true meaning of NULL.

Well. That was over quick.





Gifts from Those Who Whisper! Your sacrifice was received, and in return you have been given several Profane Scripts and Artefacts. Well, you're pretty sure IE was there already.

Load the Xyzzy floppy. See what's on it. Run stuff on it after the IT ritual.

Now that the backup has finished, you're ready to try out the XYZZY floppy and see what it does.



Useful to keep around, you guess?

Try running the Scryglass. Its associated rune is named "wealth", so surely that can't be too bad. Sounds less dangerous than the other one, "god".

Why do I know runes, you ask? I am an individual of many mysteries.
