I pay 37€/month for TV, phone and internet.

They need the extra money to pay off the executives who were de-employed during the takeover by Charter.
I dropped the phone and TV two months ago, so my bill is down to $70.

Is a higher offer morbid?

Puns - apparently a fatal affliction. Perhaps it will pass, unless, of corpse, there is mor-2-tal. Not a bury nice response.
OK - does eating additional gum at a wake make it a more-chew-uary?

Thank you ... but I am worried because there is no metal this time...
Hopefully it comes back (?)

It's not always metal... 
I'm sure there'll be more metal in the future

I just bought a USB CD drive and decided to read the instructions for no good reason.
I'm glad that I did, though - apart from the standard issue warning that [the] "laser light source may be harmful to the eyes of the face" and that I should "not put it unstable items", the most valuable advice on offer was this:
"Don't put the machines on the vulnerable to squeeze place"
It's sound advice and it should probably be included in every hardware manual ever written.
If anyone is wondering what obscure Far Eastern company supplied these words of wisdom, Victorian Systems are based in Luton, Bedfordshire.

It would seem to be sound medical advice, no?

Is that advice provided for the benefit of the "machines", or the "squeeze place"?

What do you think this is, Q&A ?
Be empirical.

I love go-lives. No really.
First proper deployment of the tool with go-live Monday and the usual breach clauses if it isn't working when they start Monday. So we've installed everything and are just checking and double checking.
No. We've decided to change the file structure...
Actually it's not that bad, just removing hard coded and replacing with configured names. Just have to be sure it all works as expected.
Send over some cocoa around 10; I'll need it.

What a spiffing idea.
As an aside, I had a small G&T last night with ice and a slice. The slice was from a lemon I PICKED IN MY GARDEN!
Now all I need is a Tanqueray tree and Schweppes bush, then I'll be sorted!

It may be a recovery partition?
Kick up AOMIE Backuper and it should be able to let you see some info on it.

Microsoft has been hijacking my internet for a couple of weeks. I have a VERY slow connection so when they are doing their updates I cannot use the internet. They take a day or two to download as I like to turn off my system when not in use.
I will also have to look for drive Z:.
