Windows says, hard disk 4 D has a bad block. I chkdsk /f the drive and it took about 15 and a half minutes and recovers files, and does all that, and I'm then notified it has 53 KB of bad sectors. Now that's less than an iriver drive, but see, thing about that, is my Iriver drive has 64 K of bad sectors, and is much, much older.

Re: The Talk2 List Fw: [midi-mag] Attention Jazz Fans
I've seen so many many of these. I used to fall off my butt laughing, but shoot not anymore. lol - Original Message - From: Derek Lane de...@pdaudio.net To: talk2 talk2@AndreLouis.COM Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 1:43 PM Subject: The Talk2 List Fw: [midi-mag] Attention Jazz Fans Dear Friends, My name is !Ndugood. I am a wealthy Nigerian prince who loves the jazz of music. I am seeking your help to move $200,000,000 from my checking account here in Nigeria to the United States. I too love the jazz of music and am planning to flee to America to open many jazz clubs at which I would like you to perform. You will receive $42,000 a night, plus a meal. My new Tribal Village Vanguard clubs will be of great success and you will become rich like the rest of American jazz musicians. I have already applied for building code exemptions to allow thatched stages and the spearing of live animals. But I desperately need your help. My tribe, the Swindlisi, a peaceful jazz-loving people, has been horribly oppressed by the ruling military junta, which despises the jazz of music. My father, an exiled king and booking agent, was recently imprisoned under the Draconian three gigs you're out law. And now I must flee my beloved country with all of my improbable wealth. But I need help in moving it. I have so much money that it will not fit in the allotted two checked bags and one carry-on. I am therefor want to transfer the money through your ATM system. (The Nigerian ATM system cannot exchange international currencies; it only converts antelope to money). So please to just provide me with your full name and address, social security number, bank account and PIN numbers. And you will become incredibly (literally) rich from playing many jazz gigs. (Note: normal Nigerian Musician's Union rules apply: three hour performances, two 15 minute breaks allowed, musicians to provide their own mosquito nets, one open fire per bandstand, one free meal plus anything you kill). Act now. The first ten musicians to respond will receive a free copy of the Nigeria's Greatest Jazz Hits CD, by our beloved 'Disoriented' Gillespie Band, which contains the hits: The Night Has A Thousand Flies Goodbye Shrunken Head Here's That Rainy Season Just Tribesmen (Lovers No More) Â Â Â Â Take the 'A' Trail When I Fall In Quicksand Half-Nelson Mandella Blue Monkey Leopard Skins and Moonbeams Blue Mombossa Almost Like Being In Lagos Sunny Side of the Goatpath I Didn't Know What Century It Was Thank you for your many help. Your inordinately wealthy Nigerian brother, Prince !Ndugood To unsubscribe, send a message to: midimag-unsubscr...@midimag.org http://www.midimag.org/ Did you miss a message?

Re: The Talk2 List Who's talking now?
O so if our houses flip upside down, we're just gonna move into your house... hope you've got a coffee maker. send me more funny stuff to laugh at! Haven't seen any in a minute. - Original Message - From: Patrick Perdue patr...@pdaudio.net To: talk2 talk2@AndreLouis.COM Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 3:52 AM Subject: The Talk2 List Who's talking now? With the push of stuff like Twitter, Facebook, and that other winky-blinky thing that rhymes with Tango, this list hasn't had much to do over the past year. If traffic on this list doesn't start becoming a lot more interesting, I'm going to have to take drastic measures. Yep, that's right, I'm going to have to start forwarding server logs and caller ID info for each incoming call to this list, and you won't like it much. Lots of phone numbers will become viewable by the public. Your world will flip it's face off in at least four directions. They'll turn your power off for being a bad person, and cut your phone line from the street. If you have cable, you won't anymore. If you have a satellite dish, make a wish before it hits the ground. In otherwords, talk! Now I'm going to be hypocritical and go to sleep. Did you miss a message? Well, don't. http://www.mail-archive.com/talk2%40andrelouis.com/ has it for you.
