mjzee, aren't they expensive for their power?

Thanks Dave. I would like to buy the most powerful desktop I can afford, and then hold onto it for a while.

John, this is for you! Five albums for $14.43: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-Classics-Cyndi-Lauper/dp/B0018BF1GS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303617830&sr=1-1

I thought that Miles was from E. St. Louis, IL.

Happy Easter 2011 everyone! I hope everybody enjoys the day!

This has been up since 9:30 this morning, and I'm wondering why Larry hasn't moved it to the Misc. Non-Political forum yet!!!!!

Thanks Dave. We have a BJ's very nearby. Do you think that their HP's are any good? There is also a Sam's not much further away, but I've never been there.

The Eskimos have released Adam Braidwood. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=363148

Michael, you beat me to it!

Shawn, I forgot to do what you suggested regarding the modem. But this afternoon, all of my problems magically disappeared on Firefox. I still had the certificate issue on IE, but since I rarely use IE I don't care very much. Any ideas as to why the problems would disappear? Do you think that the problem may have been with my ISP, TimeWarner Cable? Sounds great, Dave! I am on Newegg's mailing list. Do you think that they would be a source of good deals for a unit? Most of their specials are for parts.

Circa 1969 Atlantic released The Best of Rahsaan Roland Kirk. It included a song with a children's chorus called I think The Reason Why, but that may not be quite acccurate. I haven't heard it in years.

Happy Birthday Mark!

Well, I love bossa nova, and how much bossa nova would we in the US have heard without his Verve records? I will agree that I'm not a fan of his post-1968 work, but there aren't many mid-60s Verve recordings I don't like. For example, many people think that Cal Tjader's best records were made with Taylor.

Jim, I agree. I've thought about it, but I don't have the money now. I understand that a good game machine (which I understand to be the standard nowadays) costs $700 or so. I hope to have that much maybe in six months, but not anything near that today.

It keeps getting crazier. My Firefox gave me a blank screen at hotmail.com, so I tried IE. IE said that the hotmail site and every click within it did not have a security certificate. I plowed ahead, and every time I clicked to some usual bookmarked websites linked in my emails, I again got the same warning. Kevin, I just checked following your suggestion, and the IE security is set at medium.

Now I have looked at Task Manager, and see that I am running 11, 7 of which I don't recognize. EEvent Manager.exe is 7912 K. caissdt.exe is 8068 K. The other five are less than 5000 K. Should I be thinking of deleting these? ***** Kevin, thanks for the offer. I took my unit in to be repaired in February. (I'll never go back to that guy again, but that's another story.) He showed me that modern memory sticks have one gap in the teeth, and that my unit (motherboard?) takes memory sticks with two gaps. He said that these come only in 250 meg and 500 meg sizes, and that because there is so little call for them now they are very expensive. I believe I have two memory slots open, as I am using two 250 meg memory sticks. I got my unit in 2002. It is a white box assembled by the store in Atlanta.

OK, I have downloaded and run CCleaner. It removed 334 MB. That seems to me to be a lot, considering that I ran the Windows Disc Cleaner last evening. Most of what was removed was Hotfix uninstallers (1200) and Firefox cookies (600).

Kevin, C: has 18.4 GB used, and 40.1 GB free.

Thanks Kevin! I'll do all that after I have another cup of coffee. aparxa, I just tried my IE browser, and it too said that the website I went to had a problem with the security certificate. So apparently the browser is not the issue. Kevin, I cleaned and defragged the disk yesterday. Although there was plenty of disk space available, it said that I needed to defrag it.

All I could find about clearing my cache is to do it with Disk Cleanup, which by coincidence I did this afternoon after I defragged the disk. Any other suggestions? By the way, I went to see about getting more memory in February, but it turns out that they don't make that kind of memory for my nine-year old computer anymore, and what can be found is quite expensive. I went to Amazon again and the problem still exists. By the way, it does not exist on most Amazon pages, only on the first one and the cart/ordering pages. Dave, I don't think that I have a router. I have a tabletop modem, if that means anything.

Shawn, I'm with TimeWarner Cable. Dave, Malwarebytes is my program! mjzee, I have no problem with the organissimo site. I use Firefox 3.16. I tried Firefox 4 for a day, and found that it made my mouse jump, so I switched back to 3.16. How do I clean out my cache? I have only 500 meg of memory, and the suggestion that it is a memory problem has the ring of truth.

I've just finished running my anti-virus programming with a full scan. It took an hour and 20 minutes, and found nothing. I'm using an old desktop computer, a PC with Windows XP. Do I have a router?

Hey all, I am having problems today. When I go to Google, it says that the certificate has not been renewed. When I have gone to both Amazon and PayPal, the page shows up as texted links rather than the usual interface. There have been two pages I have frequently visited in the past that I have been re-routed to pandadomain, apparently a default page for unknown URLs. Is the problem with me and my browser, or do you think that something else is up?

Congrats Jim! That's terrific!

On Thursday the league announced four rule changes: 1) No blocking below the waist on forward passes completed beyond the scrimmage line. 2) More use of replay in control central. 3) On punts exiting the field between the 20s, the receiving team will have different options. 4) A player pushed out of bounds by an opponent may return to the field. I'm opposed to that last one. I think the players should be encouraged to play away from the sidelines because it's forbidden to hit a player who is in touch (out of bounds). http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=362251 ***** The Eskimos expect to sign Marcus Adams. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=362657
