WD Daily Chat - Talk about anything You Like
Have you tried de-fragging your hard drive? This is a major source of slow-downs for older computers. The various parts of files get scattered around the hard drive, and it takes far longer to load or swap memory. It's in Start - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Defragmenter.
...or you could try a fragmentary grenade. That good ol' Army training comes in handy, sometimes. ...makes you feel good, if nothing else. ...especially about Vista. After it came out, after struggling with it for a couple of months, I re-installed XP. Even Mister Bill's minions at Microsoft gave up on Vista and brought out Windows 7 right away.
As to the cookies, my two-year-old granddaughter likes the fit that oatmeal cookies have when smushed into the floppy drive slot. They're not as brittle as oreo halves with the white goo licked out of 'em. ...makes you feel secure about the future of technology in America, doesn't it?

Experience - the ability to instantly recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Yer right, Ross. We had a neighbor during our North Carolina days who had a heart valve replaced with a pig valve. When asked how it was working, he said that it was doing great, but that he'd somehow lost his taste for pork BBQ.ssorllih wrote:...if they could change parts and pieces in me I could do the same for a computer.
...so you may lose your taste for complete sentences.

High praise for a sausage recipe.
I made a batch of Charice sausage yesterday approximately straight from "The Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages" By Stan and Adam Marianski.
I added about 2 pounds of deer meat to the pork and used dried cilantro instead of parsley. The total weight was 7 ½ pounds and some was stuffed into collegen casings some left naked for wrapping with bread and some frozen as loose sausage.
It is an excellant recipe and very much worth making.

Okay sausage wranglers and smoke sniffers, here is a trivia question and the first one to answer correctly, wins a working model of my latest invention - a helicopter ejection seat!
Hog casings (upper intestines) are sold in 91-meter lengths cut into "hanks" that are 1 to 2 meters long and gathered into bundles. What are these "bundles" called?
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
