Arrrggghhh! That's all I can say. I was at Dimples place last night and I left my phone there *sigh* I keep checking my pockets knowing that I forgotten something, then the realisation dawns!
I was fixing her laptop, I don't have a flash drive and my CD burner is broken so I had the bright idea of using my phone to store the programs I needed instead of downloading them.
She had over 60 processes running after start up, now it's sitting at just over 30, a nice clean install of XP then, I also cleaned up the registry, got rid of all the droppings left by installing and uninstalling programs and freed up about 10 gigs in hard disk space. I put Spybot on there, AVG and defragged. Just need to sort a firewall (Sygate are not supporting there free firewall anymore) because I got rid of Norton (it's not worth the money, not that Dimples ever subscribed or updated it) and to update XP, then I will be happy! I also gave here a little tutorial on all the wonderful things that you can do and set up the start menu, giving her a better UI! Anyway, I have owned a mobile phone for like 9 years and it's really, really sucks being without it, honestly like I have lost a limb and I wanna cry. 
Dimples is dropping it over after school today, thank god! She e mailed me this "How's ur cold turkey without your phone going? I am sure that you are finding it hard like I did. It's like a comfort blanket that you need there at all times and creates quite an unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach when you don't have it."
Found This interesting; "If they have a guestbook, sign it. Compliments will always be graciously accepted and appreciated. Criticisms and reproaches are fine if you have a problem with something, but try to remain constructive and not be an asshole. No one is forcing you to give out your opinions, so if you don't have anything remotely positive to say, it may be best to keep quiet." And so it goes on...
This is cool, I posted the link the other day but as no one ever checks them out *sigh* I thought I would post it again as I am now using it. You will not see much below but I just installed the iTunes plugin and when I listen to tracks my chart will appear below. They also have good quality radio feeds and lots of info, groups, forums and all sorts of RSS feeds. Seriously I can't recommend it enough:
