People really still use IE?

The AWOL download is a PDF file so it should open in Adobe Reader. Often IE integrates this software into itself with very poor results - it crashes most of the time so its better to save the file locally, then open it in Adobe separately.

Well I downloaded FF and half of the problem disappeared, I can read the PDF file online but it will not save to my files when downloaded, so I'm back to IE8 again.
The strange thing is, I have downloaded AWOL in the past and used Adobe to read it, but that was back on issue 20!

Sorry BaaBaa but as an old fart I have got used to IE.

Oh to be young again.

Can one of you photoshop whizzes do me a HHAD logo, either the reflective or Apple style to go on my homepage.

Here's the lady in the surf that used to be the logo until deemed inappropriate

Cheers. I'll see how it looks.

Why have you got that saved?

It looks better actually.

Maybe trim the top off a bit above her head to get it to a similar size?

Nostalgia - it's what I use on my dashboard to access HHAD.

Can you trim a bit off the top for me BB?

Post by **Big Boy** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 9:48 pm

How much?

Post by **BaaBaa.** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 9:54 pm

Just a bit above my ladys head (a bit of cloud) so it's a similar size to the others.

Who deemed it inappropriate? C'mon, own up. Can't imagine it was Buksi or Lomu.

It's cool! It's on the mythical shirts as well, if they can be found. There was mention somewhere that one might go up for auction at Christie's last month but the collector selling it pulled out, to the great disappointment of all.

OK, just funning around, I know the answer to that one.

OK, new problem:

I have a partitioned drive and I use the D partition for the (XP) OS and program files only. That partition is 10 gb (9.5 usable, for some reason). Lately it keeps running low on space whether I add anything or not. I keep cleaning the drive using the built in XP utility and also using a cleaner from IOBIT. I have also deleted several programs that I use infrequently. I have gotten it back to a gig and a half of usable space a few times, but in a few days its under 200 mb again! I have also defragged.

After a fresh defrag and cleaning today, if I go to "my computer" and open the D drive and check the size of every folder on the drive (including the hidden ones) using "properties" , "size on disk", I come up with a total of just over 6 gb, but if I go up one level and do properties on the D drive itself, I get nearly 9 gb as the "used space" and only around 600 mb as "free space".

What happened to the nearly 3 gb difference?
