A beautiful woman walks in and sits down next to him. He presumes, because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off duty flight attendant. So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for thereby impressing her greatly. He leans across to her and says the Delta Airline motto: "We love to fly and it shows". The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line. He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto: "Winning the hearts of the world". Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face. Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto: "Going beyond expectations". The woman looks at him wearily and says: "What the heck do you WANT, moron?" "Ah!" he says, sitting back with a smile on his face. "American Airlines..." ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ A group Winnebago drivers on route back to Florida for the winter were sitting in a truck stop. To blend in with the truckers, they had to complain about something, so they were exchanging notes about their ailments. "My arm is so weak I can hardly hold this coffee cup." "Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't see to pour the coffee." "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck." "My blood pressure pills make my dizzy." "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old." "Well, it's not all bad. We should be thankful that we can still drive!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Dakota Austin Young, 26, Prescott, Arizona, USA Man arrested for deadly Prescott apartment shooting Police have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 24-year-old man at a Prescott apartment last weekend.

What is that all about? Fran Dear Fran If you have a couple of 4 TeraByte hard drives, and they are nearly full, then searching through them will indeed take a lot of memory. That is no problem while the search is going on, but if you leave the program running for days, that can cause problems. Just exit the program after it has found what you were looking for. Have FUN!
