1) hang the towel on the hook
2) cover the drain with the towel
3) block the panel with the satchel
4) put the junk mail (remember the junk mail) where it will fly into the 
   air....
5) press that lil' ol' button!

Come on, I cant tell you everything! but here are some clues:

  Feed the dog.
  Don't believe everything the program tells you.  In particular, try doing
    things it tells you not to, or tells you you can't do.
  Forget the board.
  Get the generator and the drive.
  Enjoy yourself.  ENJOY yourself. GET IT? ENJOY YOURSELF!

  I hope I haven't given too much away!
