Is there a JoeClone out there to rid us of obnoxious anonymous guests?

MAG, another maintenance thing to do (and I really hesitate to add anything to what JinK says...because my experience has been that he is usually right), if you follow his directions to System Tools, you will see something called "Disk Defrag" there. Computers don't necessarily save all pieces of a file in the same part of the hard drive, and it can cause problems (slowing, etc) when it has to look for them. If you decide to defrag your PC, plan on letting it run for a l o n g time when you aren't doing anything else with it - overnight or while you are at work. Don't forget to disable any automatic shut-off or sleep function that you have set.
