I don’t know about this

I don’t know what you have to do with a graphic to turn a one-page Word document into a 11.5MB monster, but I now do know exactly what happens when someone tries to send two of them attached in one message to a machine running Outlook 2000 and only 128MB of RAM, and it’s not pretty!

    Windows XP patch chart SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.2 released Chris is a little angry at Huminity, whatever that is..
