netstat is great

Just follow the text commands in cmd.exe

i don't use antivirus or anything on my computer, so i like to know wtf is going on. this does it. when it gets busy, i reformat.

Ditch windows..problem solved!

 

[JTM]

there's no way i can play games on any Linux build that I want.

right now, I'm using "tinywindows" which is the best windows version I've been able to play on.

"damn tiny windows" was even faster, but only worked on around 50% of what i wanted to do.

Apple - Mac OS X - What is Mac OS X?

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
