The latest "entire program" download of CCleaner was only 471kb, whereas the last, "only" definitions update for spybot was 685kb.

I love talking with my parents and my in-laws about how things were in the past, especially life during WW2. Not so long ago I was searching for something on the internet and stumbled across a very informative site about life in the war, it kept me engrossed for hours, even though it was not what I was originally looking for. When you were younger you probably got up to mischief as I and probably almost most kids did/do, but nowadays the kids seem to take it to a new level. We have a phase going on over here labelled "happy slapping", which involves a youngster slapping a random person around the face whilst being filmed on a mobile phone (cell phone), by one of their friends, the images are very quickly sent to all their mates, and then from them to others, latest case reported on the news was of it happening to an 82 year old lady, it is senseless and disrespectful, and makes you wonder what sort of a sick world do we live in nowadays. Hope it is not happening in USA, and never does. Sorry for that turning into a bit of a rant, but life today is not what it used to be.

One of my mates has been given an old ME machine to get him started with computers. I have been cleaning it up today, getting rid of old docs, emails, email accounts, internet accounts, network connections, etc. Also uninstalled any software that he would not need, mainly business programs, it came from an office. Whilst playing with it I went into the C drive but there was no Windows folder, I thought it was always in C, I have also looked everywhere else for it, still cant find it. Any ideas, anyone? I am also having trouble updating it, using an update CD that I got from MS, this is why I went looking for the Windows folder.

You speak with lots of wisdom, Mudd, and I am sure you could tell some interesting stories of life that would make us either laugh or cry. I have lots of time for the older generation, because if it was not for them I would not be here.

What if there were numerous download location options, as in Spybot S&D?

Visit Taruns or DjLizards site every once in a while, they have had that link up since 7th June.

Nice one MrG.

Before Dj does it, STARSIGN

I do feel young actually, I act like a kid most of the time as well. I dont think there are any gals, they have deserted us. Dont say that, it will make mudd feel bad. P.S. I can put 2 quotes in a post now. I must be getting better with age.

The heatwave is horrible MrG! Kept me awake until 4am the other night, had to be up at 7am. Roll on October.

Capricorn????????? Have you checked your own forum lately?

Guess my starsign then. Better be careful, might turn into a new topic. We cant give too much away.

I did try what you suggested, and did not seem to get anything come up at the C: prompt. I obviously did something wrong.

They don't bug you alot then, they bug you a lot.

It seems to be back to normal now.

You're hot on correcting typo's lately Dj.

Are 64 bit systems out yet? If they are, do any programs take full advantage yet?

Glad I ain't the only one, I just logged off and restarted the computer to see if that helped, it was starting to p### me off. Why does typing a # start media player? I've never had that happen before. *edit* In case you wonder where the # bit and media player come from, it was when I typed p###, and media player kept opening.

Is this Forum slow to load tonight? Or is it just my computer? I feel like I am back on dial-up. I could not even get on earlier.

I agree, I wish this technology was around 20 odd years ago, when I was a school kid. I do remember the change from black and white to colour tv though, which was an amazing thing in itself.

No ladies yet though, come on ladies you must be out there, or do you just come here for help? Never to be seen again once your problem is sorted. *edited* rridgely, how did Tarun guess your age then? or Tarun, how did you guess rridgely's age? Although it seems it was a case of finding out rather than guessing, judging by the cheater remark.

Just looked to see what was new on this thread, but I started at the bottom, and thought wtf is Tarun on about, then scrolled up and thought "oh!". At that point I started laughing, and have only just stopped now, quite a bit later. This is one topic I am glad I started, and I only started it because it has been a bit quiet lately.

I take my hat off to you, Mudd, it's nice to see the older generation keeping up with technology, and I am sure there are many things that you could teach me. My mum & dad are a bit older than yourself, and are now on their second computer after only six months of getting into it. Good luck with everything.

It's just conversation really, and we can all learn from each others points of view.

38, I feel old now, I am the oldest at the moment.
