Actually the problem was not just long boot time. It was also long launch time for all the key applications. Clearing prefetch fixed it all. And if you understand how Prefetch works that makes perfect sense. >Get 10 more PCs at random, time the boot and app load times, clear the >prefetch folder and time boot and app load times again. Let me know >how that goes. You are just being silly. If something is broke and I fix it then it is fixed. If something is not broke, I have nothing to do and it is still not broke. Maybe you would claim that you fixed it, but I would not. What is the sound of one hand clapping? >By your logic *anything* is a cache, which now could include a burlap >sack of nickels or Miley Cyrus and that something that worked once on >a lark is obviously the answer to everything. (I'm picturing Steve >Martin saying "You need a good bloodletting!") I gave a precise and standard definition of a cache in a previous email. It is defined functionally. You continue to be wrong in insisting that the contents of the cache can somehow make a cache not a cache. Yes a sack of nickles can be considered a cache if it functions to save you a trip back home to get a nickel. >Vista *does* work great (I know that runs counter to what PC says to >Mac and god only knows how they could be wrong). I'm eagerly awating >Windows 7. Considering your track record on other issues I will pass on this one. Vista is double plus good! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
