Note. The comma is the difference between it working and not working. I've been rebuilding the thing all day. Something real nasty got to my machine. Took and grabbed 100% of everything. Couldn't run anything. tried Adaware, but it just locked and froze. All it did was USE resources. I suspect it was computing Pi to the nth digit. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |

Everything goes into this folder before it goes anywhere else. If it weren't for this folder, I'd probably never access the drives. Cept for Trend sending out that pattern file Friday that did more damage than any virus, I've kept the machine fairly clean. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |
