Clean Install

This is an article from TheDailyWTF.com that I found particularly humorous.

    A friend of mine recently bought a product called PrintMaster. He had some trouble installing the software and called me up for some tech support. He was receiving an Error 1305, for which a quick Google search lead me towards the following:

        ... Completing a clean installation of the program will help to prevent conflicts that can occur. The remainder of this note describes the procedure...

    All right, I thought a clean install, let's read on and see how to do a clean install:

       1. Place a small amount of nonabrasive, liquid soap on the shiny side of the CD or DVD.
       2. Using your fingertips and warm water, gently rub the soap on the disc in a circular motion.
       3. Rinse the disc thoroughly and dry it using a clean, soft T-shirt or lint-free towel. Do not use paper towels or tissue paper.
       4. Install the program.

    Doing a "clean install" has now taken on a new meaning for me.
