Virus sad how the virus effects you, show it in the way you post.)

Layout is basically the same thing as physical description, no you do not look like humans, you look like competer programs. I.E. small window with tabs along the top. (you're allowed to be more specific.) However, you do have human like personalities and can interact with each other in a human like way. When you're not being used by the user, you don't look like anything. Except maybe a spark of electricity.

Name of Program: OpenOffice.org Writer (Open for short)
Program's purpose: OpenOffice is a word processing program. You type things, and then you print them. Fairly simple.
Personality: Rather enthusiastic, and hates people ((Or programs, whatever. xD)) ruining her fun. She is often found goofing around in the waiting room, but she at least attempts to do what she's supposed to, when she has to.
Layout: Fullscreen window that has three different toolbars at the top, THe first is the File, Edit, all those things, then the formatting options, that are shown as little icons, and then the text options. In the main window there's a white block simulating a page. The cursor blinks at the top of the page, where you type.
Virus: Spellcheck doesn't work, accidentally changes font color and size at random times.

Username: Lii-kun
Name of Program: EAC (Exact audio copier)(Other programs just call him E. ;D)
Program's purpose: To copy audio files from a cd onto the computer so the user can listen to the audio file on a Media Player, or burn the file onto another cd, also using EAC.
Personality: E is a rather hard-working and persevering program, who has a great repect for other programs, but even MORE respect for himself...
Layout: The toolbar at the top has five tabs; edit, action, database, tools, and help. Then there is a scrollbar underneath to allow you to choose your adapter, spaces to fill in the cd name, type, and artist, a play, pause, fastforward, and rewind button to make sure your cd is copying right. (Though you should usually play your songs on Media Player...)
Virus: He can copy one song at a time perfectly fine, but when the user tries to download multiple songs at once, either he skips tracks, downloads all of the data onto one track, pauses in the middle of the track, etc.

Username: littlemiss009
Name of Program: Finder
Program's purpose: Finding programs and applications and folders, ect.
Personality: Short tempered and proper like an uptight old librarian. She's one of the oldest programs (she comes with the computer and has been on other computers before this one.)
Layout: Is rectangle shaped with columns inside. The first column has the different categories like applications and stuff, the second column has the different things that go in that folder, and the third one is blank until you click on something, then it focuses on that. There's also a little search area in the corner (like the google part on Safari).
Virus:Suffers from short term memory loss and mood swings. Can't find a thing and can only open every other file.

((This rp is the king of weird looking posts. Eh?))

After the User closed Safari, he attempted to find out if it was an old version of the program taht was making it not work right. Looking at teh updates popup, he decided that this was not the cause of the problem, but he could use new programs anyway. Unfortunately, there were only a couple of updates available. Telling the computer to update a couple of programs, he sat back and watched as they did.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Open felt the Update command tugging at her system. She rushed along the circuits to the Update drive, and let it reprogram her commands. She figured taht it would be easier to do her work now, but unfortunately it wasn't. She gave the electric equivalent of a sigh, and set off towards the Waiting chip. As she arrived, Open took a seat near the edge of the circuitry.

"Oh, hi Safari! I'm doing rather well, except for this dum virus. I hate it! Do you have any way to fix it? I'm gtting fed up with it." Open said, glaring at the ground.

"I've always known that User should have done something to connect us. This just totally sucks." Open turned to one of the entrances to the Break chip. "But, isn't it a bit odd that no one's really in here right now?"

((Hint, hint! Lii, Cee, where are you guys?))

"Yeah." Open shuffled in her seat. "He's not been getting along with any of us recently. This dumb virus is driving him insane. Probably not as bad as we dislike it, but he's sure not haveing a good time."

"Heylookit'sE!" exclaimed Safari, "H o w ... a r e ... y o u ... d o i n g .... E.TheVirushityoubad?"

E sighed "The virus isn't really affecting my speech so much but my performance is suffering the user is getti. Ng really fru. Strated with all of us though right?" E wasn't exactly estatic to see Open, but he had a bit of a fancy for Safari...

((Is dat alright? Brrna? Na? What do you think? ))
