"Oh goodie! Someone else who has had to reformat their HDD! I must have done that to mine oh about thirty-odd times or more over the three/four years that I've had my computer."

What do you do? Wash your computer with magnets every month? I've had to reformat my hard drive maybe once in years of PC ownership. By the time my hard drive gets so full and cluttered that it's unusable, I'm at the point where I need a new computer anyway.

Don't install every little thing you see. And don't dump it all in the root directory. Prevention is better than cure.

"Oh yes . . . can I get rid of my partitions without having to reformat?"

There is a program that can do it. I think it's called Partition Magic. I'm not sure, because partitions are evil.

'I DID send requests to everyone. Ask Tim, or Jeff, or Tom, or Charles, all of whom granted the requests. Still waiting for Daryus, Kardde, Lee, Liz, Liam, and Tahna, among others. They're listed as "Awaiting Authorization".'

I didn't get it. Try again.

"Now, now, I was just making a list of the ones I actually expected to re-authorize me eventually."

And you sent one to Jeff? The two of you should not be allowed anywhere near each other, for the good of us all.

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Or religion. But we actually have quite interesting conversations about Tom Clancy. Care to know who the unnamed president who won the '92 election in his universe?

Liam never seems to get my authorization requests. It took three tries last time around...

"Unnamed president" would be a wild stab in the dark.

An alternate version of Trainspotting just popped into my head. . .

Renton: Well, Omega's always been lacking in moral fiber.
Swanney: He knows a lot about Tom Clancy.
Renton: That's hardly a substitute.

Hey, Vogie, you sure you authorized me? 'Cause I'm STILL listed as awaiting authorization. I just resent.

As for smarty-pants Liam, it was Pat Buchanan. So .

But, frankly, anyone who has never tasted an UTZ has no reason to live.

I told ya Omey, I auth'ed you twice, because I got the request twice (might have something to do with my PC crashing the first time I was online). Went online briefly last night, no request. You don't love me anymore. 8*(

*considers hugging Lee*

*reconsiders*

*pats Lee on the back instead*

There, there.

I just requested authorization for what appears to be the fourth time, according to my records. I sent you a standard message, too. Is 10218272 still your UIN?

Oh, tell everyone, why don't you? Yes, it is. 8)

I'll try to go online at some point over the weekend and have a look. Might as well have my work ICQ too, 66185684.

"You [Omega] don't love me anymore."

Surely you're not saying this is a bad thing?
