 lol: lol:


I have to say that when the thread appeared in the computer room, it read:

"I've just de-fragmented in the computer room"

Check out how the post appears and you'll see what I mean. Another bloody keyboard clean-up beckons!

Visions of Growler de-fragmenting all over the computer room!

What? You've done it yourself...already? eeek:
Takes hours. Did here anyway, but after storing 4 years of shite without de-fragging, I suppose it would.
Well worth it though. Freed up a lot of space and this shed is now running like a new un. eeek:

Ah but in Nick's case defragmenting means glueing his coffee mug back together  drumroll:.

Just spent a bit of time last night looking and searching for ways and means of improving this things performance. Dead easy really if you just keep hitting the right buttons.

Have you had a go at greasing the hard drive to make it spin round faster. You need some vaseline and a piping funnel. It works, trust me.

Taking your suggestion I just asked my PC to defrag.
It said F*ck Off but in MSoft Speak ~ telling me that "This procedure is not necessary at this time". (Do that in Bill Gates' accent for the full effect)

On a Unix box, try rm *.* -r.
Recursively deletes from the bottom of the file structure back uo to the top, until the disk is empty. Box will keep on running until reboot time when you find you have no OS, just a dead box.
This is only recommended if you either own the box, or you seriously dislike a person/employeer. eveilgrin:
