saundyl Some of those graphics cards put off a lot of heat despite having fans and heatsinks! Looked up your graphics card that is an AWESOME card! I'm jealous. Did it come in your system or did you add it in?

k1tten I love spider solitaire and freecell. I think I've gotten pretty good with beating Freecell. I usually go online anymore and play games because of the variety. I like pogo.com for online games.

liquorice I've never played spider solitaire, but I like the idea of learning another form of solitaire, mabye I'll give it a go. I've got quite good at Freecell too, and once I've won a game I usually want to play again, and tend to keep playing until I lose! I haven't...

liquorice Hmm, I think I will try and learn Hearts, as in the past I've thought it looked interesting, and two people have recommended it now! (I know, I've answered you in the wrong order, and the other person who recommended it is below you - I'm having a bit of a...

liquorice Thanks for your reply. Maybe I'll have a look at Hearts too, I've always wondered about it but never ventured there! It's reassuring that you played it when you were 10 as that means that it would hopefully be relatively easy for me to learn...

liquorice I just tried this, how bizarre! How come it lets you do this before you've won - or even played? Maybe to show you what will happen if you win, to encourage you? - No, it wouldn't really work would it?! Thanks for sharing this with me. No doubt I will now...

crazyredhead The number next to your name is how many posts you've done. Right now it's a 12 so you must have posted 12 times. It counts your discussions and your responses to discussions.

andben Yes, of course. The simplest way I know is to use a software like winzip or winrar: with them you can create a compressed and encrypted archive. Just right click on the file or files you want to encrypt and choose add to archive, then select something like...

stealthy Unfortunately, nothing is forever, not even love, much less file storage or data storage. One can keep transfering what they really want from the old type to the newest type and hope to at least keep up for a while. Even cd's and DVD's have a limited life as...
