Sounds like we are on the road to becoming less human...

Learning is not all about knowledge. Having experiences to go along with that knowledge is also essential.

MickySoft: I need to flash my memory once in a while.

Me too. This is often labeled as &quot;beer thirty&quot; to me and the guys.

Be thankful for your ability to forget and never let anyone convince you otherwise. Without it, we would all me in a state of agony and/or terror most of the time. Think of the worst experiences in your life, would you wish perfect recall of exactly how you felt then.
I've come to respect my memory loss. ;)

I'd say no because it would probably be made by Microsoft.........

Which means many service packs ;)

ps. I don't relish putting the service pack in the accompanying @ss drive which comes with the memory chip :p

Cheers,

Also if MS made the chip, the swap file would take up so much of your brain it would have to be defraged daily ;)
