Oh come on, you can't highlight and hit the delete key to remove the cross
posts? Get Outlook Express for Dummies.

That's insane. He doesn't want to delete his copy of Outlook
Express, he just wants to send a message to this chat room.

Better yet, I'd just like to give him a tea bag some Saturday night when
he's passed out on Chardonnay. Priceless.

Is that some kind of "mouse" manoeuvre? My newsreader doesn't do
*anything* when I move my "mouse". Did you write that book?

hmmmm: sounds like the same DLL hell problem my cousin had. try
deleting all DLLs in your Windows/system32 directory and see what
happens.

If you're going to do that, might I suggest you also delete all those
pesky EXE files, and INI files, and all that sort of thing. After all,
they're only taking up space on the hard drive, doing the important
things you want the computer to do.

Boy I hope no one is actually obeying any of the instructions in this
thread!

Sure! My computer boots a lot quicker now. There's only one small
problem. I can't "login" into my harddisk with my "mouse". Could you
tell me what I have done wrong?

No problem at all. You need to keep pressing that button under the
coffee cup holder. Press it no less than seventeen times. If you're
compulsive obsessive, this is good practice.

After that, follow steps 2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 15, 19, 24, and most of the
rest of the steps in the Microsoft Anything Manual, which are all the
same thing: wait, wait, and wait some more. After that, you can take it
easy for a while, and then your computer will do everything you expect
it to do. (In other words, nothing much.)

What kind of idiot would actually believe that those instructions were
posted with the intent that they be taken seriously?

Oh. Wait.

Um . . . sorry.

You can go back to seriously correcting those serious instructions
now.

I'm stumped. I can't even find find this crazy directory Bryce
mentioned.

When I went out at lunchtime a crazy and/or prophetic guy on the
street muttered "look in "drive c" to me. Well, the closest thing
I've got is a /dev/hdc but there's *nothing* in there now and when there
is anything it's always *read-only*!

Anyway, I've got bigger fish to fry than this CROSS PSOT KEVIN
problem. My fancy new Finux installation is missing
drivers/input/hollerith.ko and I can't read my old Fortran programs.

Well, you know the old Beatles tune, "Write in C." (When I find my code
in tons of trouble, friends and neighbors come to me, speaking words of
wisdom: Write in C.)

Why would I use a piece of software with such an insulting name?
Buying it would only encourage that "the consumer is an idiot"
mentality.

It could be some kind of fancy IT jargon. I found a page on teh
interweb that says it means "Kilo-Engine Visual Instruction Network"
but maybe that's a typo for "Kibo-Engine"?
