    LOL, I'm curious how long August is going to argue this joke

    I agree with some others here, its amazing how some people think we can magically fix all things computer related just because we are computer literate. I get a couple of calls a month from my mother-in-law from her store getting asked things like "Such and such crashed, what should I do?" The worst is when one of her FRIENDS calls me saying "Pam said you are a computer genious, what would you recommend as a good stamp collection program?"

    I know. Aunt: "My CD ROM door is jammed." I come over, take it apart, parts scattered everywhere. Fight with the tray and the gears inside the CD ROM, finally get it to open and close smoothly. Put it back together, all works well.

    Right now I've been trying to help a local lady who has 43 processes running in memory.
    The world is waiting. I must leave you now.
