I rebuilt my computer this weekend
My five year old Vista operating system had become glacial in terms of operating speed. Internal testing show HD faults and errors. So I bought Windows 7 professional for 140 dollars and a new hard drive for 90 and spent several hours introducing my computer to all of its neighbors.
This doesn't mean that my posts will be more scholarly but I will be able to get all the way through a sentence without a coffee break.

Where did you get your hard drive at? There are several good online sites that sell good quality computer parts at discounted prices (New-Egg and Geeks.com are two of my favorites). It was probably a good thing to switch from Vista to Windows 7 as I read somewhere that Microsoft is soon to stop supporting the Vista Software soon.

Gentlemen! ......easy computer bug fix!
If ever you see the above bug on your screen, spray-soak your screen vehemently with Raid. If the bug continues crawling around on your screen, slap the living crap out of your screen.
After that, if the bug continues to crawl around, you can assume with certainty your PC has a bug!

Has anybody here tried "System Mechanic"? It's available downloaded from AOL for about five bucks a month or so. I've used it for about 2 years and found that it really works for me.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
Yeah thinkin about rebuilding mine too, the firebox is shot and the boiler leaks like a sieve and the little woman keeps bitchin about the smoke in the house, besides shoven the coal through that little tiny wienie slot in the front is just a pain. Might even upgrade to one of those new fangled models, yuh know the ones with the Main frame and rows of wires and black beads. Heard that Abacus OS is like really quick,Yup time to step into the modern age.

Kick the crap out of it alright... but then shoot the dad-gummed thing! A Winchester 30-30 saddle carbine always works nicely! It ventilates as it penetrates.
I'm surprised you haven't discovered that-there western Colorado FLAT, low-sulphur, bituminous coal. It's best to mine yer' own of course... just start diggin' in your own backyard until you come to the real FLAT black stuff. You'll know it when you see it. I've always had to lubricate mine (with a little cod liver oil) before shovin' it through the little slot.besides shoven the coal through that little tiny wienie slot in the front is just a pain.
