do NOT save it (you can, but it is more headache..)

OK, try downloading it from the link below:

http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-...rt=dl-10804572

(you'll get an active X prompt..just click on it and download file. Wait for the window to pop up then hit run, if nothing pops up, see where it says:

"Your download will begin in a moment. If it doesn't, click here to try again."

click THERE, and just click on RUN)

I am not sure why MajorGeek's doing that, maybe they are on vacation...LOL

speaking of which, CastleCop will be closed permanantly...I am very sad about that...I volunteered there and learned a lot from them...it is too bad...*sigh...
Well, Alan just woke up and he'll be on the computer most of the day. So I have to wait to do this.

I shall endeavor to take my FREE coupons, go to Waldbaums and save lots of moolah!!

Later my dear!!

Oh, I'm glad you have such confidence in me.

I remember one of my jobs (I was around 22 or so at the time). They took me off the typing pool and put me on the switchboard. I will never forget that day as long as I live.

It was one of those ancient plug switchboards. If a call came in, you said "good day, (you said the name of the company), then the party would say "may I please have Mr. Smith". Then you would take the adjoining plug, and plug into a console, THEN YOU WOULD TAKE THE RINGER, AND PULL BACK ONCE. The phone would ring on the person's desk and that would be it.

You should have seen me the first day on the switchboard. (Now I can remember doing this like it was nothing, and I had jobs after that with DIGITAL switchboards.

But that first day, there I was trying to put this plug into that outlet and pulling back the ringer, etc. Well, I could NOT do it.

I marched into Mr. McCloskey's office (oh my god, I remember the guy's name and it's almost 40 years). I marched into Mr. Mccloskey's office and I said "I can't do this". He said "What ARE you talking about'. I said 'you put me on the switchboard, I want off" he said 'Sorry, we have no one else, you have to do it".

I did it.

After a while, I could do it in my sleep.

God only knows if I can someday do this malware thing in my sleep too!!! Maybe when I'm 80!!
