Title: $$&*- I Do NOT need HELP to be insane and/or paranoid - *&$$
Post by: Griffin NoName on January 17, 2009, 11:52:43 AM
Sorry people but this is Another Microsfitz Hiss.....

Anyone who has followed my Vistaaaaaaaaaaargh!  thread  will know that my email files got arbitrary email's dates corrupted with the current date --------------   a bug. A very silly bug too.

I just ranted about it to MS on their forum earlier on. Along with some other poor frantic soul.

Now, later on, I had to send an urgent email. So was rooting around in the files and the mail program.

SHOCK HORROR GASP   All the email dates and file dates are correct.

HOW CAN THIS BE????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????



ok i assume it is a "display" bug, rather than a "bits and bytes changed" bug but but but but but but but WHAT A WASTE OF TIME perhaps Vista needs running in DOS mode

That probably means that it's a display bug and whatever triggered the 'new' dates the last time wasn't active now. Still a but though.

Yeh, as I said, I shall run Vista in DOS Mode from now on :irony: :giggle:

Mind, I've always wondered about that..... remarkably it now means denial of service ;)

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean no one is out to get you. :mrgreen:

Lol, all right.
Glad to see you around. Sort of didn't feel right without you puttering through the halls.

I don't know about those, but you *do* make me laugh now and again.

And that's never a bad thing....actually, that's truly one of life's little wonders.

Laughing, I mean.

R Heinlein was spot-on in Stranger in a Strange Land, with regards to laughter.
