Agreed.
![]() Morning, Dan. Two days in a row you're here? It's amazing. ![]() Well, I'm off to take ready the little soaps for school. Be back later. Maybe. |

I face yet another full day in a bad place. Oh well, at least I'm not a Chicago Bear Offensive Lineman--those guys are really bad.

Ya' know... alligator's pretty tasty too - and the best meat comes from the tail...
Dragons are somewhat related to alligators. Just sayin'... |

I need a new computer. This thing has gotten so slow and every anti-bot/clean-up program I run doesn't help.

![]() If you can't afford to upgrade to a newer operating system even reinstalling your old one could help. Memory sticks are reasonably priced, too, I think. You know, little boosters to help the thing run faster. Some options instead of getting an entirely new computer. |

My desktop is a 2003.
It crawls through the internet. I only use for work though, so it's not really that big of a deal. For any actual internetting I use my laptop. You might be able to find a good deal this weekend, Ted. Amazon, BestBuy, and Office Depot have all hit my inbox this week with sale emails. I haven't looked at them, so I can't say what exactly is on sale though. |

Hope you can figure something out, Ted.
I got mine off QVC so I could pay for it on a monthly payment plan. It worked for me at the time.

<serves up round of eggnog "additive" for all the Hounds>
Technically, you pour the eggnog in one glass, the additive in another, set the one with the eggnog aside, and actually drink the other.

I need to add a 4GB memory stick (I have 2 plus a 2 GB and will have another 8, 16, or 32 this weekend - I have around a terabyte of storage space available as well and might pick up a 1 or 2 TB portable drive this weekend) to my desktop at work and let the desktop use it as virtual memory. I keep forgetting you can do that.
They gave me administrator privileges on my computer at work too so I now have GIMP on that machine as well (and will soon have Dragon Naturally speaking as soon as I can find the disk for it). My boss's goal, which he informed me about today, is for me to have all the time studies and setup forms for Tge machine shop updated in 5-6 weeks. Oh, joy.

I am taking it to the Mac store in Pittsburgh tomorrow, largely for the formality of having it declared DOA. ... And as an excuse to hit what has been promised to be a very awesome tea shop.

You know, I've had Microsoft send me 3 updates in 72 hours. I loaded all of them. After the last one, I rebooted and ran a bot killer, which came back clean. Now it's running okay. I still have no idea what program is constantly loading stuff. I've run all the cleaning/anti-bot apps I can find.
If I can get a boot disk, I'll be doing Soapy's option because it basically all I can afford right now. I can't wait until I win the lottery. |

I'm always up late, cowboy.
But I'll probably be heading out soon. I have a long day tomorrow. *bites off a couple of Ted's fingers* you should never touch the tail of someone who is almost out of coffee... |
