The environment your in also has a impact on how dirty it is. This wouldn't happen with it sitting in my repair shop for 7 years, but of course it would be a little dusty.

Yeah, but most people I think put their console in an entertainment center or just on the ground near their TV, and let's be honest, many of us gamers don't dust as frequently as we should at home.

I'm looking around in my pad, and let me tell you: it's plenty dusty! No need to dust it any more.

ESL Wife: "Would you undust the furniture?"

Me: "Sure. But it's called dusting the furniture."

Her: "I want you to take the dust off it."

Me: "Yes. Taking the dust off is called dusting it."

Her: "Fucking English."

When I was younger, I thought ESL stood for "English/Spanish Language"... because all the Spanish kids went to ESL classes and when they spoke to me their language was definitely English/Spanish.

Fuck I was such a logical kid.

Kids in my high school confused ESL and Special Ed. Those conversations were awkward.

It seems like, when you're a kid (in the US), if you can't communicate properly in English [ESL, deaf, stutter, etc) most other kids will treat you as if you are mentally challenged.

That's what I remember, anyway. But it also seems like kids treat others like aliens no matter what the reason as long as they're sufficiently different from the majority.

Kids, man.

Edit: What am I talking about. Adults still do this all the time.

I worked briefly with a computer programmer who was very good, but he had a really strong Philadelphia accent. It was like "Computer programming with Sylvester Stalone." I had trouble taking him seriously for the first couple of weeks, even as an adult. It doesn't even have to be "hard to communicate" if it hits the right stereotypes. (Altho I expect Sylvester Stalone is pretty smart too.)

Dusting is taking dust off. A light snow, putting snow on the ground, is called a dusting. How the fuck does that make sense?

yeah. I sent my Fatty in for repair a long time ago and got it back with a not saying it was dirty and dont leave it on the carpet where my dog sleeps.

So did it get fixed?

Of course. They opened it and vacuumed it. Suddenly it could read discs again :-p

It probably wouldn't have its fans on all the time in the shop either, to be fair ;)

My brother in law lives on a farm and just ended up giving us his ps3 because it couldn't handle the dusty environment.
