I won't go snowboarding now, it's not enough snow there (even in les alpes). This season it's just too late 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

That's the benefit of skiing, you don't need as much snow.

Well i do both, but i don't like the green landcape around the piste. It just feels unnatural and the snow mostly is very (dunno the english word for "sulzig") sludgy.
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Yeah, but I wouldn't ski that low. Stay highup and you get good empty pistes, nice weather, and cheap lift passes. Yeah in the station its a bit care and gets 'slushy' late in the day.
I remember when I was there in may that time, came out of a restaurant at 9 in the evening and it was still daylight! Weird, very weird. It was damn hot in the day too, so hot it was roasting. But the skiing was still fun!

Mind you I skied once in Lermoos in jan with as little snow as that back in the late 80s!

I always find it so weird watching webcams - I mean, here's a live streaming picture from 6 time zones away, you can see people walking about and skiing, I have no idea who they are, they have no idea they're being watched, heck, I'd never even know the place existed. I wonder what these people lives are like, where they work, where they live, what their favorite foods are, but I'll never know. Just weird.

Marc, here's a webcam[^] for you where you don't have to feel weird watching it. Other side-effects possible though.

Hang around till Saturday midday and then you can watch me and then ask me who I ma, where I live, what my favourite food is.
But yeah, I suppose web cams are kind of funny. It makes people look like ants. Just things, doing stuff, for no apparent reason.

Got stuck working on the FIL's (Father In Law's) 13 year old Dell this weekend. Still had the original install of Windows XP - I hadn't touched it in over 10 years. His complaint was that it was running slow...
slow
slō
adjective
1. moving or operating, or designed to do so, only at a low speed; not quick or fast.
Doesn't even begin to describe the glacial pace of this baby.
Discovery #1 - The C drive reports that compression is ON and there is less than 1 Gb available on the 110Gb HD. Rut-roh!
Discovery #2 - There are 5 full copies of Intuit's Quickbooks for a business that is no longer being handled on this PC.
Discovery #3 - SysInternal's AutoRuns reports no less than 20 toolbars (and their related garbage) are installed for IE.
Discovery #4 - My IBIL (Idiot Brother In Law) has installed 3 separate additional anti-virus apps on top of the MSSE initially installed. One from Symantec the other 2 I'd never heard of.
Sadly, I only had about 2 hours to "fix" it. With the aid of Autoruns (HIGHLY recommended for everyone's Windows toolkit) I was able to kill off the nightmare of toolbars, updating apps and crapware. Quickbooks is gone, as are the extra AV progs (as well as they can be using the standard un-install sequence).
It runs WAY faster now and has about 7 Gb available. Lucky me, I get to go back in a few weeks for round two. Wish me luck.

You have no idea how appropriate that strip is. As I arrived my FIL (he's in his mid 70's) told me my IBIL had tried to "frag" his HD but it wouldn't work.

Every year I am tasked to do something similar to what you mentioned, for my MIL/FIL's computer. However, they do not have THAT many AV programs installed. Wow.

I hope you get more than just two hours for round two.
I like a challenge as much as the next guy, but at what point does it start to make more sense to just wipe/reinstall?

True, but that brings up an interesting question: Do the Microsoft update servers still dole out XP updates? Or did they die with XP support?

Unless you are paying for the enterprise extended extended support, No the updates died with XP

I think they only stopped writing new updates for XP; the existing ones should still be accessible through the updater.
