My daughter Katie, who is a real wit, announced one day that she could read minds. I bit and said , "OK, what am I thinking right now?" Without missing a beat she answered, "You're thinking that I'm not a mindreader."

I've read that defragging actually extends disk life because it reduces stress caused by having to the heads wandering all over the disk to read fragmented files. My experience has been good. I've been using the same HD for three years w/o any problems. (I think I just jinxed myself)

BTW I defrag whenever my disk gets above 5% fragmented or once a week, whichever comes first. Also BTW ESO wrote the Windows defragger. That's why ESO ends up in the Console when you install it. If you want a real headache, just try uninstalling ESO.

I use ESO and Norton's. ESO is nice for defragging the page file and MFT but it does only a fair job of defragging. Nortons optimizes the files according to how often they are used. Unfortunately it is ssssssssslllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. I also use a little program called PageDefrager. It defrags the registry, which neither Norton's nor ESO does. I'm such a geek.

You'd think I'd know this by now but I can't seem to figure out how to change the color of the fonts in Favorites in IE menu . The hover color is the same as the highlighted background so it is impossible to read.

Lady A, In the same vein as grayhaze, I understood adni's original post to be more concerned with malicious ratings as opposed to simply low ratings. While he is probably used to getting 10's I don't think his lament was due to a ruined 10. We've had the occassional bad apple here who seems to get his jollies by sabotaging people's ratings. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case here but it does go on and has been cause for concern.
