In the past I've found that the Recycle Bin by default takes 10% of disk space and locks that away for itself. System Restore takes another 10% for its restore points. Mathematically that (10%+10%)*150GB = 30GB! Ta-da! :cool: Neil

On a sad note - Charlton Heston isn't available to play you in the film version.

Still, at least we can get our gun back now...

Ah! The young! ;P Nethack is a single player, "go down into the dungeon, get the treasure (an amulet in this case) and escape again" type of game. Its an extension to hack, previously found on unix boxes and has been around for donkeys years. Importantly it's a triumph of substance over style... the standard version has text graphics (if that's not a contradiction). Play the game for a while and you'll never look at an '&' in the same light again ('&' is the symbol for a demon or Horseman of the Apocalypse). It's open source, so some people have developed graphical interfaces, if you're that way inclined. A commonly used phrase is "The Dev Team Thinks of Everything"... a simple one I can remember is if you try and put a potion into itself, you get the message "That's a potion, not a klein bottle". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nethack for more.

Can't believe that no-one has suggested nethack yet...

This might be a dump question but, do you need 2 graphics cards to have two monitors?

Not necessarily; it depends on the card. I have a NVIDIA GeForce something-or-other which has one output. However it's supplied with a splitter cable that allows two monitors to be connected. Cheers Neil
