I?m very impressed with all this IT stuff in here!  ;D

Windows users should actually scandisk then do a disk cleanup before defragging ? I?ll tell you all about it when I am back on-line properly? I have a 20K connection today?  evil:

I have a 20K connection today

That's cheaper than yesterday?
Unfortunately not? I?m on a 4p per minute pay-as-you-go interweb connection through a hospital switchboard? I fear it may require Landlady to take her ?secret? purchases back to the shop for a refund to pay the bill...  scared2:

Sokmetimes I despair. This morning the Sales Director called me because he could access email. After checking network settings etc, I noticed that he had not plugged the network cable into his laptop!
OK, maybe I should have thought of that first, but I do try and give these people a chance to use their brains. Banghead

Chkdisk used to drive me mad - users would run it, usually after advice from a mate and then wonder they ended up with lots of strange files all over their hard drive and that their oh so important data files had disapperared. I once had to got through and piece some files back together almost going down to sector level - if you don-t know what that means, it is pretty low level stuff and bloody awkward.

d.i.y. I.T. numpties ey? ::)

I have to say, I'm envious. I would have quite like that one myself, seeing as how I'm all ethereal and such!

And no jokes about drinking spirits! O.K.?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!
