I want to copy a directory on my flash drive to my hard drive. Here is what happens every time: Microsoft, please stop asking me if I want to copy the files. I do want to copy them. I thought it was clear when I answered that I…

I found this and think it is worth saving close by. Sorry it doesn’t fit right.

As I predicted, I am finding less and less to write about on this blog. Here are a few minor comments on FPS games. I’m going to buy COD-BO today. Yes, people were in line at the store last night to get it at midnight and no, I…
