Yes it has a lette...

If the drive isn't working due to a physical problem, you can try putting it in several freezer bags. (So it won't get any condensation) and freeze it.

Yeah can you believe people still use 56K and are charged prices up to $25.00 per month for it?

I go work on peoples computers and just am saddened they keep 56K because that is all they know.

I was sad to see it. She always seemed high on something. She was looking hot again though. I too believe in some conspiracy by an enemy that brough her down. Probably Trimspa big wigs snuffed her.

It seems pride in our country is diminishing. Good for other countries but the norm for us here these days. Our athletes are reflecting our current world repputation too IMO. Mediocre showing. Its simple, its not "Politically Correct" to be proud of one self or ones country as long as it ...

WTF!!!!!!! :snakeman: :lame: Just because I picked a very old song does not mean that I'm not in the know of the more modern music. I simply picked what I liked based on a much broader range of music over many centuries. In an odd way that might mean that I'm more in the know than you are. :mrgreen...
