Spare me your sanctimonious lecture.

Really, I'm more of a shellfish Pie.

Hey Pie, did you know you can Alt-Tab and get to another window?
Did you know that Ctrl-C copies highlighted text?
Did you know that you can hit Ctrl-Print Screen and do a screen capture?

Just offering some pointers. You know, to help out.

We just did a system restore, it only cost me all my pictures and music. And now my machine screams. It is a Compaq Presario I bought at Wal-Mart back in '05, it has Windows XP Home as an O/S and works better than any of the new machines I have seen latly. Vista SUX and needs to be replaced. My next machine will be a Mac.

Don't go that route! Eschew Vista, sure, but go Linux.

Or BSD. BSD has better documentation than most Linuces (faux plural for Linux).

I don't understand why you'd want a machine that screams. Wouldn't all that caterwauling get annoying after a while? I prefer my PC to be nice and quiet. Unless it's playing music or something. Hm.

My laptop runs on Linux. So far so good. It has Open Office which seems to be very nicely compatible with MS Office for file sharing purposes. It's a lot more secure against viruses and other nasties.

Anyway...I just installed that 1GB memory card UT encouraged me to order. Yippee! No more "Memory is low" messages.

Yes, TW, it works just fine alongside my 512MB card. :p

Its a virtual scream. Does not wake up the neighbors or bring the police.

My pc screamed until we took a can of air to its innards.
