I ran across something yesterday when cleaning out old files, and I was positive that I needed it no longer. Anger.exe. I couldn't believe it. Surely it was outdated- it had been almost 25 years since it was first installed. I didn't do a back up I was ready for this thing to be out of here. It had been collecting dust for far too long. First I tried an uninstall but I was promptly informed that the executable was corrupted. I rolled my eyes and cussed my luck and looked for a way around it. That's ok, I will just delete the folder. It didn't take long before I was confronted with-ACCESS DENIED.... accompanied by some message about how the system was currently using this file. But that couldn't be right, I no longer use that program to stay the threat of a complete shut down. It no longer pops up automatically when you flip a switch, and besides it is too old to still be operating properly. Oh, I know, maybe a shutdown. A fresh start always makes things easier. So at first light I tried again... still no luck, this time, my delete button even got stuck. I tried a copy/paste and sure, it was happy enough to multiply. I tried a rename and found out I could call it whatever I liked. Where ever I moved it, there was no problem, but just try to get rid of it and it was the same old ACCESS DENIED I must have hit Refresh twenty times but it seems my system has grown dependant on this application I can't seem to function without it. I need a operating system update, my files have been corrupted. My dynamic links are bent and twisted my drivers are prehistoric. And then it hit me I know just how to fix this! I just need to remember where I put that program.... I remember the promises, the instant online help index... I can't believe I put it to the side; I tried all these years to do it all alone... Now where is that program? I know I saved it in one of those sounds to good to be true spots... Let’s see, maybe I have it filed alphabetically, in the n's or the o's.... ahhhhh here it is. By now I am so troubled by this unwanted baggage, that I am in desperate need of an Operating System Overhaul. Quickly I fumble through the instructions looking through for a quick fix or a trouble shooting page, but the solution is so simple when I finally found it, it was almost hard to believe. It says simply activate your faith and He will lead you the rest of the way... [This message has been edited by jellybeans (edited 10-12-2001).] |

Jellybeans, It seems to me that poets need to be involved in the business of faith fully as much as clerics. Your words reminded me of something I read the other day. "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Thank you for your reminder. Bob PS I hope all is well wih you. |

What a creative work of art! I tried to ditch the anger.exe from my miniscule organic thought processor. It is a tough one to overwrite. |
