Glam Slam, fuck you ma'am, you really fucked my day

I wanted to connect my Walkman cassette player to my PC, because cassettes are awesome. But I couldn't hear sound from it on my PC. The connections were right - the headphone socket of the Walkman connected to the microphone socket on my laptop, and the sound levels were showing, but there was no sound. I could record the sound, but I wanted to HEAR it, not have to record it THEN hear it!

It turns out that Vista, yes Windows Vista, the operating system of my laptop, doesn't have an option to do that. I heard there was an "Input Monitor" option I needed to enable, but there was none. I even tried editing the registry but that didn't work either. I tell you, it's a good thing I still have my desktop comouter with Windows XP because that didn't give me this kind of problem, at least I don't remember it doing so.

So I'm left with a hold-my-hand option on Windows Vista that won't let me do it! How can Microsoft neglect something like this, just to cater for the general user who won't know much about it and who will probably be editing their wedding pictures in MS Paint. I felt so helpless trying to get that option and Vista being so unwilling to co-operate, that I made this little animation. Yes you can see Mat's helpless because he can't use his frigging arms since he's tied up (heh, no wonder he can't operate anything on Vista). I tell you, Vista treats you like you're handicapped.

I was listening to Glam Slam from my Prince LoveSexy tape when it happened, so the title is fitting - [link]
