its cooking, not spelling.
windows has asked me to defrag the drive on my antique, but... I only have 5% free space, which wont do. so, no defrag for it.
this machine asked me to download IE 8 beta today. didnt of course. IE 7 seems fine, and its a work machine, no unauth downloads....

Now, then, about all you with a virus scare. I have an easy fix...get a Mac or reformat a Windows box to Linux. I don't even have an antivirus on this Powerbook. Not needed. Oh yeah, and get rid of Internet Explorer for Foxfire, for that matter. IE died years ago.
Ona similar note, and something that may shake some beliefs to the core, it is almost unanimous amonst the tech-nerds that you don't have to defrag a harddrive. Even the most fragmented of drives, once defragmented, only show a slight improvement (if any at all) in speedtests. Furthermore, those who have your machines set to have it automatically done ever week are probably doing more damage than good. A harddrive is an electromagnetic device that has a shelf-life. They all crash, it is only a matter of "when." The more you use it (say in a needless defrag), the shorter the lifespan. Set it to defrag once a month if you are one who cannot simply "let go." To really see a speed increase, do a clean install of Windows from time to time. With partitioned drives, it isn't as time consuming as you would think.
MORNIN' all (er...a minute away from afternoon).
