I remember a postnot long ago (a month, maybe) where someone posted the output of a disk check and you told him that there was reason to worry. You then wrote back and mentioned that you checked the man for that particular program and found that there was in fact no real reason to worry. I can't find that post! I don't think that the program was smart, because I would have remembered that name... Dotan http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/11/a-ha.php A-Ha Song Lyrics
