Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was trying to see if anyone had tried it before it was introduced! I try to buy all of Paul's roses' if they even have a slight chance of performing well in Tampa Bay. I just ordered from RVR a couple weeks ago.( I picked up Cl. Butterscotch, Fa's marbled moss (again) Janet Inada, Brown Velvet, as well as a couple others. They gave me a free Secret Garden Musk, as well as a "garbage rose" I can not wait to see what it is, odd that I am most excited over the garbage rose, but with a collection like the one they have, you never know! With my luck it would be Peace =)! Another I will be trying besides Pam's Choice will be Robert's Wondrous Ruthie. As a sister seedling to Jeri Jennings, I am pretty sure it would thrive here. Best of luck growing yours, I hope it gives you years of enjoyment! Regards, Andrew Grover

Six years is doing good. However give us a make and model number, that always helps things along. Have you ever removed the side panel and blown out the dust bunnies. This is the first place to start. If the computer rests on the floor move it up, even a 6 inch block will work wonders as all dust eventually reaches floor level and you disturb it as you walk about. The fans then suck it in. If it is dusty in there buy a bottle of compressed air, remove the computer outdoors (you don't want to upset whoever cleans the house) and blow the dust out. BE SURE to hold a finger on the fan so it does not spin wildly and pay particular attention to the fan on the motherboard. This protects your processor and very likely it is overheating and shutting down to prevent damage. If you live in a VERY dusty environment and it is bad in there then also take a look between the plastic front panel and the metal behind. There is a 3/4 inch space that can get bad. You can also test for heat issues by removing the left side and use a small house fan to blow in on the components. This is not a fix but a temporary measure so you can decide if heat is the issue here. Let us know how that works for you

If people don't believe pets should be spayed and neutered then they should go to their local animal shelter and look at the number of homeless animals that are put down daily. If they don't want to leave their house to see, go to pet finders ..just type in any breed and see what pops up. As the economy gets worse, more and more pets are going to be turned loose to fend for themselves. I have worked with a local shelter and luckily we weren't a kill shelter but still so many... Litter after litter just dropped off at the shelter. We also worked a puppy mill, mothers that had been over bred..just horrible the things I saw, all conditions that could have been avoided if the mothers had been properly cared for. My neighbors dog came in heat a couple of weeks ago and he made the comment that if he saw any males around, he would just kill them. HIS dog better not come up preg. I told him that if HE put up his FEMALE dog then the males might not be able to get to her. I bet she will have a litter of pups..she always does...he needs to be MADE to have her spayed.. Here we don't have cheap s/n clinics a regular spay costs..over $180 and females have to stay overnight. Alot of people don't have that type of money to spend. I will be honest I have a female dog that I "adopted" off the streets. She has been to the vets, she is on heart worm meds, but she isn't spayed. I can't afford it right now. She is in the backyard fenced in and with a neutered Saint Bernard. Nothing bothers Winnie when she is in heat..as soon as I can afford it, she will be at the vets. Back in Dec, I won a cat spay in an auction. I took our inside kitten in to get her done..ended only costing me $55.

"Just don't ever use the registry part unless you really know what you are doing." Stargazzer...Don't be afraid of the Registry Integrity option of CC. I've had this tool [CC] on my system for years and I've always checked off items under the Registry. Currently...the only items NOT checked off are "Fonts, Help Files and Run at Startup"...and that's purely personal choice because I have no need to worry about the first 2 and my paid version of AVG runs at start up...so I don't really need CC at that entry point. As a general suggestion to one and all...make sure to check for updates with this tool on a regular basis. Even though I have opted for automatic updates...I find that it rarely does so. I'm currently using the latest v.2.22.968 for Windows XP Pro SP3...and the new appearance is terrific. The first time I saw it...I was suspect because CC has always been rather non-decorative in nature. Now it's become one of the "Big Boys". ;-) It's really a fantastic, friendly/non invasive/non aggressive tool that plays well with MS and with my paid version of AVG. Anne
