My machine runs OK. Are they phony? Dianne Dear Dianne Yes, they are phony. If a device, like a mouse or a printer, does indeed need a newer driver, it will call for it in the background, right from the manufacturer. It is quite safe to make a filter to trash those silly naggers. Have FUN! DearWebby The Maguire twins had never known the likes before.

Father replies, "O.K., son. But, first, you have to get good grades in school, keep your room clean, keep the yard trimmed, and cut your hair. Come back when you've done all of that." Well, a month passes and the son approaches his dad, report card in his hand. "Dad, I got great marks on my report card. I've been keeping my room as neat as a pin, and the yard is always ship-shape. How about letting me use the car?" Father replies, "But, son, you didn't cut your hair." Son says, "But, Dad, Jesus had long hair." Father replies, "Yes, son, you're right. He never got to drive either." ___________________________________________________ Today, February 27, in 1700, The Pacific Island of New Britain was discovered. 1801, The city of Washington, DC, was placed under congressional jurisdiction. 1827, New Orleans held its first European style Mardi Gras celebration. 1861, In Warsaw, Russian troops fired on a crowd protesting Russian rule over Poland.
