A *Little* knowledge is a dangerous thing. A total newbie > wouldn't have been able to delete all that good stuff.. B) lol Don't be too sure... On more than one occasion (and, in context, I suppose I should say by more than one gender), I've had call-backs from people within hours of firing-up a custom system for them because "nothing works", only to find out that it was because these people decided to delete all the "old files" on the computer. By date, of course. Including about 3/4 of the operating system itself. My conscience nagged me momentarily upon charging a second time for the exact same setup as the first, but I just slapped it down and did so anyway. > DA>So, I rescind my implication that women are prone to computer idiocy > >in favor of saying people in general are.
