I agree: the ultimate "anti-OJ-jury" jury.
(Sometimes lately I feel like time is going backwards.)

Time IS going backward.

These thoughts are from the guy who has put up the site Terrific Music .

I believe that everyone everywhere must, when considering today's world and its music, agree that the music of the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, and '70s was the best that man had to offer. It is, in my opinion, music that determines social outcome. Is it coincidental that love flourished in our society during that period? Love flouished because love was in the air waves, love was everywhere. Today, music depicting violence and dissension are in the air waves and, as a consequence, violence and dissension now flourish. Music bears great significance in any society. Music could easily be a tool of influence and propaganda. I believe that the chicken came before the egg and that the egg is the reflection.

The path we walk is both wondrous and fleeting. Cast your light upon the darkness and, in unity, the veil of fear will ascend.

Something for us to think about.

I'm happy to report my computer is whizzing along! Thanks for all the tips and encouragement along the way. I've been working on (stressing over) this for a week and last night a lot of things gelled.

Ever since someone first showed me how to check my unused disk space 3 yrs ago, I've never had more than a tiny sliver of available space on my system. A warning about running out of disk space was the first sign of my problem. After last night I now actually have more UNused space than used! I freed up almost 4 GB of disk space!

The biggest element was unrelated to viruses. It had to do with old email cache files in Outlook Express, which I stopped using 2 years ago. Also Windows temp files (not Temp Internet Files). Maybe I'm the only person on earth who didn't know how to "compact" old Outlook files or clean up those temp files. But the last week of reading geeky websites paid off when I came across those two actions.

I also downloaded an excellent AdWare program at
adwarefilter.com

They try to sell it to you, but decline to buy and a window will pop up saying you have a free trial period (60 days, I think). Nephew said after the trial period they'll ask you to buy it for $30. When you decline, it will say "How 'bout 99 cents?!". LOL! He spent the pennies.
It found some nasty hijackers my other programs hadn't deleted.

Anyway, I'm happy as a clam this morning, feeling pretty proud of myself. I've gotten enough confidence now to actually go in and delete a lot of extraneous stuff in my start up and program files without crashing. If any of you need any details, let me know and I'll gladly share.
