I don't remember exactly what Tom's question was, but I do remember that it wasn't anything I'd seen, and that I didn't know the answer offhand. A quick search didn't turn anything up, and I didn't have time at that point for anything more thorough. I did try, and I suspect that others did too. Many questions do get answered pretty quickly. Fred Holmes asked a question on 4/12 that got answered in 12 minutes. Dr. Altus's question yesterday about taskbar balloons was answered in pretty short order. But I think there are a lot of times when the symptoms are just plain odd and no one here has an immediate answer. What I notice is that a whole lot of the posts these days are neither questions nor useful/interesting information: they are potshots, and often gratuitous potshots at that. Why, for example, was a link to a picture of a crashed Xbox posted? What was the point? Does Apple hardware never crash? There's a lot of this, I don't see the purpose of it, and I wish it would stop. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
