ok.. this is as OT as things get..
Recently, probably the past few weeks, I've been finding these medium sized beetles in my shower room. Yes, out of all the available places, my shower room. I guess I'm more ok with bugs than others, but still, I don't enjoy showering with beetles, as creative as it may seem...
So I'm guessing some of the former OS 3.01 bugs came running to my place??

I guess everything's cool, but they better stay away from my PC!!! Yick!

I've a small army of spiders outside my window to keep them at bay.
The window is divided into four parts, each part can house up to five of them.
Nice view watching them work in the street lights at night, when the computer is processing some odd task.
cheers, Tom

I have to kill flies for hundreds in summer. First you think: “Oh, poor little beast”. After a few weeks of real exasperation you think: “Oh you bloody bitch!” starting the bang-bang with a piece of cloth till there is not even a single sound left… Horrible!
This really IS a bizzare thread!

Tip for mosquito hunters: use a humid/wet cloth instead of the newspaper or your favorite mag. It keeps the room clean and it's fun to throw with.

I used to live in a run-down terrace house that I shared with several hundred cockroaches. I had to keep my shoes on at night so I could stomp them - but the horrible little things were usually too fast for me, scuttling away.
When I started karate I used to practice my floor moves by stomping them - amazing how my success-rate soared ! It was like a karate progress indicator.
Ah, the sweet joys of my youth . . .

Oh yeah? Well I lived in a cardboard box under the tollway and the rats used to come and bite my toes off every night. Then I had to walk ten miles to get to school - up hill, both ways. Then when I got home, my Dad would kill me.
Kids nowadays just don't know how good they got it!

To stay away from bug: Hyperos 2002 (
www.hyperos2002.com)
I have it. This software free the man and the machine. A true revolution for PCs with Windows OS. Reliability is no more the enemy of multiple activities with the same machine. You can have in the same machine different Windows OS with differents tweaks, and use them all, switching from one to another in 2 minutes max.
It's great
