PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE EVER:

An Irishman, a Mexican and a Blond Guy were doing construction work on
scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, 'Corned beef and cabbage! If
I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off
this building.'

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, 'Burritos again! If I get
burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too.'

The blond opened his lunch and said, 'Bologna again! If I get a bologna
sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too.'

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and
cabbage, and jumped to his death...

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito and jumped too...

The blond guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as
well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, 'If I'd known
how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given
it to him again!'

Got my son's computer working again!

After calling Symantec (clearly coming from Bangalore, he called
himself "Victor." Really? "Victor"? That's what he's going with?),
they suggested things which would clearly reformat the whole drive,
which was not what I needed.

So, after hours of research and tinkering , here's what I did.

1. Ran Symantec's NGBoot.iso download to theoretically unhook GoBack
and fix the Master Boot Record. Oddly, rebooting the machine STILL
went into the GoBack loop, so I'm not sure that did anything.

At this point, I went to MicroCenter and bought a cheap SATA-USB hard
drive enclosure, so I could plug his drive into MY machine and work on
it under a separate drive letter.

2. Ran GetDataBack, which noted that the partition was a "type 44"
(as opposed to NTFS or FAT32). Type 44 is a GoBack partition; GoBack,
evidently, changes your partition type to its own proprietary format.
Still, GetDataBack was able to read this hidden partition and allow me
to backup all his key files to my computer.

Good Morning, Happy June!

How many hours of sleep to you get a night & do you get up in the
middle of the night to go to the bathroom?

Me: I go for 8 every night and yes, all of a sudden I'm going pee at
around 2 in the morning every day!

A man, not satisfied with his life went to his rabbi for advice.
" Rabbi, my life is a living hell. I have a wife, four children, and my
wife's mother living in the same house with me and they are driving me nuts.
I can't breath, I can't hear myself think. What can I do to make things
better?.
The rabbi thought for a while then said to the man, " I can make things
better for you but first you must promise to do whatever I tell you to do.
Do you promise?."
The man, eager to get out of the mess he was in, said," Yes, rabbi, I
promise."
" Good said the rabbi. Do you have any farm animals?."
" Yes," said the man," I have a cow, a goat, and several chickens."
"Great," said the rabbi."Now when you get home take those animals into
the house to live with you."
The man at first tried to protest, but remembered that he had promised
to do whatever the rabbi told him to do.
He thanked the rabbi and left. When he got home he did what the rabbi
told him to do.
Two days after he went back to the rabbi and complained," Rabbi, the
situation is much worse. It's impossible to live with all those animals ...

Was browsing here and saw the dialogue with Jed re: superantispyware.

Previously & still, I have Avast, Spybot S&D, AdAware & Asquared loaded
and I update and run them regularly.

Would you recommend SuperAntiSpyware instead of or in addition to?
