:sigh: I really planned to use this vacation time to clean up the yard and house, but instead I find myself glued to the keyboard, completing the User Control I started last week. I have all the graphics working nicely - changing shapes based on user input. Now I want to add event handlers for text boxes and an event generator to notify the host app of changes. Back to the books! Oh, my poor neglected yard... :doh:

This Friday I just received the most beautifull and inteligent question/problem from one of the PE's. "My computer is working really slow. I've managed to isolate the problem. It seems that System Idle Process is consuming almost 100% of the CPU. Can you please have a look at it? Thanks" This is an aprox transaltion from romanian to english. I'm not kidding. It's one of those wanna be "power users". :)

Isn't it all just brown dried husks of plants by now anyway? :-D

Actually, I've found a number of species that can grow here, given proper care. Ruellia, lantana, vinca major - all thrive in the heat with reasonable watering. I have 5 different types of trees growing now, and doing well, along with guavas, grapes, and assorted vegetables. Most surprisingly, I stuck a plumeria in a pot last year and the thing's blooming! Who'da thunk it? But the weeds are a constant menace, and though they die and turn brown, they don't go away - nothing seems to decay here (excepting a few barflies I see now and then).

Brings to mind "In early development, the prototype 729 had two status lights labeled Select and Idle. One day a vice president visited the lab and noticing this told the Engineers "That is not acceptable! IBM machines are NEVER idle!" The labels on the lights were quickly changed to Select and Ready." IBM_729[^]

:laugh: :laugh: Many a time I've wished that I could find a way to keep that System Idle process from starting. I didn't buy this damned thing to sit there and do nothing! It's especially frustrating when I've asked it to do something and persists in remaining 100% idle, and if it's so idle, why does it need so many resources? :mad:

I agree with the guy! It's disgusting! Would you hire an employee who spent 100% of his effort on idling? No! Then why are you happy to spend thousands on a machine that does precisely that?

something like: somewhere in a serial for... do{ if (true == true && true!= false && (1==1 && 1!=0)) string precentage = (1+1)!=2?"100%":"100%"; } while(true.ToString().ToLower()=="true"); Will that work?:~ :)
