free up space on C

I am not Andrew, but OK I will take youyr thanks in his name.

 

So you admitted to NOT using Vista frequently?

That makes you an hypocrticial SOB. It was you attacking people for Ubuntu,
and promoting Vista.
Ubuntu is not my interest, or any Linux anymore, but Vista does trigger many
alarms and has crippled my productivity since forced upgrade from WndowsXP.

And no matter how many times you repeat old & tired joke about Taco Bell,
Vista remains a cripple and Windows7's main motivation was to get behind
Vista's FIASCo with busienss users. Though Microsoft does profit from home
users whose little expectations and nature of work are oK even with a
cripple like Vista, losing business customers is what brought Windows7 so
soon to market.

To conclude: you've just admitted to not even using what yuou promote

P.S. If you write about Taco Bells again, it's not being read., go on and
waste your life on typing.

Mike, you've put your finger on a particular gripe of mine. I run
64-bit Vista on two machines and am really tired of getting very
interested in some piece of software only to find that when it says
that it runs on Vista they mean 32-bit only. Sometimes you don't
learn this until you've downloaded it or bought a boxed commercial
product and tried to install it. I've even had some go through the
install and only refuse to run when you load it. This situation has
improved over the past year but there's still too much "32-bit only"
code floating around, especially in view of the number of "media" PCs
being sold with Vista 64.

This is not a criticism of MS or anyone here, I'm just blowing off
steam. Maybe if enough Vista 64 owners express their dissatisfaction
directly with the authors and vendors, they'll realize that there are
enough of us out here to comprise a significant chunk of users.

I feel like I'm in the Beatles song and finding out that nobody loves
you when you're 64 (bit).

Cool! Thanks for letting us know these suggestions helped, that's good
to know.

Cheers

But you are a COMPLETE MORON and Douche Bag. A Douche Bag who doesn't even
know how to fix his computer clock. I suggest calling tech support and they
can have someone walk you through the steps to fix your clock. Don't be
afraid.

Thanks for the reminder. I didn't have good luck with that program, as
well as other people, that is why someone wrote a little program to make
Itunes rescan which worked well. ..And Yes,I did figure out about the
preferences setting FINALLY.(If you move the files) I think Apple could
have made it easier as far as adding new music from say a ton of ripped
music from your other computer. (And moved/copied to the one you want
them added to.)

G'day

<Sigh> Same here, but I realize I have a lack of patience for bad advise
and ignorance at times.

Oh man, that is one of my most fave books/movies of all time. Thanks for
the Arabic translation. I didn't know that! Cool! Interesting, as I try
to be a teacher for some things, but am not always so great at it. My
patience these days seems too short for such things. Yep, getting older
and lacking that sort of thing. ;-)


G'day
