She went to visit her mother for two weeks, and when she returned, she was overjoyed to find that beautiful new cabinets had been installed in her kitchen. A few days later, a neighbor came over to visit and mentioned, "We were sure glad that the fire your husband had while you were gone was confined to the kitchen, and that he was able to clean up the mess before you got back!" ____________________________________________________ Nancy knelt in the confessional and said, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."

The priest turned, took a good look at her, and said, "Nancy, I have good news. That isn't a sin - it's only a mistake. You probably need new glasses." ================================================= DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:Trevor Re: Defrag large drive Dear Webby we got a new computer in the office with a 2 TB hard drive. How often should that drive be defragged? I'm afraid it will take a whole shift to do that. Trevor Dear Trevor UNused parts of the drive defrag really quickly. Use Partition Magic to partition the drive. You need a small 2 - 3 GB partition for Windows and software, and a few partitions for data. I imagine the reason for the huge drive is to store incoming faxes. If those are just viewed and printed but not annotated or edited, then they don't change in size and rarely need defragging. That way you can just quickly defrag the small partition where Windows keeps changing things. If you don't partition your drive into a system and a data partition, then the rule that "the bigger the drive, the more often it needs to be defragged", applies.

Walking into a music shop, he spotted one he liked and asked the shopkeeper, "how much is that accordion by the wall?" The shopkeeper looked at him and said, "You're a drummer, aren't you?" "Yes, how did you know?" he said. "That's the radiator." _____________________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's News no sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
