    <description><![CDATA[Here's a page ripped straight out of our lives here at Studio Fiesta.  You'd think a big international production like SpanishPod would have the latest in high-tech equipment, but the truth is that our monitors flicker in monochrome green, and we program the website using BASIC, and I'm always having problems with the five inch floppy drive.  In this lesson, you can learn how to complain about your computer not working.  Maybe the boss will give you an upgrade!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi <em><strong>Stevestrv<br /> </strong></em>not at all,&nbsp;Im being obscure again<br /><br />It was supposed to be 3 line computer program that laughs at jps binary joke.</p>
<p>It <em>should </em>repeat the instruction to print "ja " as long as the "funny " flag is set.</p>
<p>Progamming is&nbsp;not really my area of expertise any more than spanish&nbsp; so it may well crash the system. I feel sure there must be a user on spanishpod who can help with the details of coding.</p>
<p>Then it occurred to me that spanish coders probably have to use english terms like "do while" "if..then"&nbsp; "go to" unless there&nbsp;are spanish versions of programming languages&nbsp;como BASICO. Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, Ol&eacute;.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I may be wrong but its possible that, 00100! genuinely would upset a computer.<br />Its 3 bits short of&nbsp;a&nbsp;byte&nbsp;although its a Bit more than a nyble which would leave&nbsp;it hungry&nbsp;for more</p>
<p>I cant remember what the pling(!) operator does exactly though its&nbsp;something to do with directly manipulating memory which as i recall is pretty much guaranteed to crash a computer.</p>
<p>not sure theres anything intrinsically funny about 3, perhaps we should ask JP ;-)</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Cuando mi computadora no funciona...can't write this in Spanish. :( I usually mess around a little, trying to fix the problem, which I usually do. If nothing works, then it's restart time..and if THAT doesn't work, I go google-crazy...and if THAT doesn't work either....format c:, I suppose. And if even that fails...time to get a new computer!&nbsp; Problemas con computadoras es tan frustrante.</p>]]></description>
