Ärende: Registry Detective

Charles,

The PopUP that is on my Brothers Windows 7 screen everytime He turns His
computer ON doesn't sound like something PC Mag would do to offer their
software to the public.

I may not have remembered the name of the software exactly that keeps
being offered to my Brother, as far as I remember it was
"Registry Detective 2010", and he told me when he clicked on the offer
the first time he saw it, it wanted him to pay Cash for helping him FIX
his computer with THEIR program, that doesn't sound like PC Mag to me!?

Sometimes when I use Multi-Mail (MM) to read a long message in a QWK
Packet it will tell me I have messages in my Reply Section and asks me
if I want to Save them or not.

Dince I mainly use SLMR for reading and replying, I sometimes have
messages I made before starting Multi-Mail so I tell MM to Save the
Replies.

When I quit MM and start using SLMR again, IF I am not thinking,
sometimes I press the Enter Key twice (without thinking) and SLMR
Deletes my Reply Messages.

It does that because when I click on a QWK Packet to read,
AND SLMR sees there are messages in the Reply Section, it (SLMR) asks me
IF I want to Delete Them.

A Double Enter Key combinations Works Really Fast when I am not paying
attention to what I am doing.

I typed in All the above because of You talking about Your interest in
the iPad.

Just in case I did lose a group of Replies using the double Enter key
press trick, I have a URL for You to go look at.

Charles,

Your comment about the iPad reminded me of a Video I saw on Kim
Kommando's web site about a Chinesee(sp?) Magician doing tricks with a
Apple iPad.

Hope that You enjoy it as much as I did (do).


I haven't seen any comments about the Magician with the iPad so I
believe that message may had found its way into MY COMPUTERS BIT BUCKET!
