[FRIAM] Advice on configuring computers

[Nick Thompson]

Gary,

 

My first job was as a copy boy at the San Francisco Chronicle for a dollar an hour.  Our two bedroom cottage was 75 dollars a month.  

 

Do you remember when we waltzed to the Souza Band? [My wasn’t the music grand!}

 

While I am wasting your collective time, can anyone explain why, having deleted over 5000 messages from my outlook, and emptied the deleted items file, and restarted Outlook, and reloaded my C: drive, I have LESS space on my hard disk than before?  

 

Yeah.  I know.  The rest of you have day jobs.

And doggone it, I really *should* be back working in the gas station like I did in High School, for $2 an hour.

Thanks, Barry, 

But we Puritans think that currency inflation is one of the wages of sin, and if we spend less money, the world will returned to an earlier State of Grace.  I still remember 25 cent gasoline on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley.  That's what gasoline SHOULD cost.

This may not be any consolation, but these “dollars” you speak of, thanks to inflation, are what we used to call in our childhood, “dimes”.
