It's why nobody can write idiot proof software. Sadly.. You'll always run across a better idiot! -- "Hrrngh!

Besides playing with notepad or playing a card game I mean. All the computers here are chewing data in the gigabytes on an almost daily basis; And without doing a defrag, video/audio synch issues do come up. Then again, these machines cpu time is actuallly maxxed out for hours on end to encode as well; so.. I'm probably the exception. -- "Hrrngh!

If things go wrong, you may not be seeing the desktop again anytime soon. Offly hard to run the saved file if you fucked up the exe file associations, for example. -- "Hrrngh!
