Yeah Australia is pretty much the other side of us. Its 4:16am here but 7:16 there.

Saw this short chick play the tuba. I was surprised she could have the lungs for it. It was a good band though. And a few beers

It should play youtube just fine. When was the last time you reformatted? If it has been a while I usually run a register check and disable unneeded programs from the startup menu.

if i reformat i'd have to pay some comp place to reinstall os and all the other drivers. i think it was the last java update it ran when i started having probs. i've since uninstalled java and vids still play jumpy.

Why pay? You can do it yourself

Who made the laptop?

better than mine.

running an OLD toshiba Satellite. 1.79 GHz processor, 256mb ram, 27gb of hard drive. I've had this laptop for 3 years, and i bought it from my uncle who had it 3 years before that and its still one of the fastest computers that i have used in a while. starts up quick, doesn't really freeze unless i leave it on for a couple weeks without a reboot.

Do a defrag, disk cleanup, and look up windows XP tweaks. it will show you how to maximize the performance.

Since you have bullets whizzing by your ears at all sorts of hours, we'll give you a pass for special circumstances.

Lol. 2:23am. Buddy of mine dropped off his 90 accord. It's an auto, and for some reason it is stuck on "sport". I found this amusing.


Looks like tomorrow I will be looking for a TCM for him.
