"Turn it off and back on again" was (and still is) the easiest, fastest and most reliable cure for troubles on Windows. It's true of Unix/Linux machines, too, of course: I restart them once, sometimes twice a year :) Usually when updating the kernel of the OS. A senior Linux/Unix/Sun/Mac/Windows sysadmin I know insists it's the mouse that causes all the problems. He has machines in the backroom wired into the network that run for years. But put a user and a mouse in front of a machine and it locks up within a day or two :) -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4smahis5tshxcoxmpeacsspwtfqugs5s6epfgt0q3p...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
