"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident." -- Arthur Schopenhauer -- German philosopher (1788 -
1860)
Even if I believed that the above was valid for *all* truth, let's not
forget that untruth passes through *at least* the first two stages as
well...

This is from my sig collection. Sorry, no attribution.

They laughed at Galileo. They laughed at Copernicus. They laughed at
Columbus. But remember, they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Sounds a lot like what Carl Sagan said...

"The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who
are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at
Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at
Bozo the Clown." -- Carl Sagan

Also what was funny about Sagan was what he said publicly was one thing,
and what he said privately was totally another. :-O

You should warn people that registry cleaners can make their system
unbootable and totally useless.
Why? The application is almost 'newbie' proof in its use - even most
AOL.kom users have no problems with it. ;-)

I've been using all the various functions of CCleaner for years now - and
*NEVER* had a problem with it making my computers (I have 5 with it
installed on) "unbootable and totally useless" - and I nobody that I know
who uses the application has had a problem with it.

In reality, the newer versions of the application makes it far easier even
for 'newbies' of perhaps the lower end of technical knowledge to rectify
some of the more common problems that occur when the start 'exploring' their
shiny new computers..

Could you supply some instances where you have had *actually* *had* problems
with this application.

No, the funny part is you digging up quotes about a genius who was
laughed at, as if there's some kind of connection between that and
your situation. Hilarious. :)

Telling unsuspecting people to use such a dangerous utility without
any warnings whatsoever makes you a very dangerous person. People
like you waste people's time and money. And it doesn't surprise me
one bit you run and hide when you are exposed. That is what bad
people do. Good people don't do this.
Bloody hell, this is the funniest load of bollocks that I have read in any
group for a long time - you even beat Dan C and his 'reformat your drive'
mantra for almost any problem. Do *YOU* actually know what you are doing?
ROTFLMAO

Ok, so you know better than the hundreds of posts in these Microsoft
newsgroups where IT and Microsoft MVPs have been saying don't waste your
time with registry cleaners that I have heard for years. So you have the
stand, now prove them wrong! And if you can't make a reasonable and
logical argument, you will get no respect from me. So here is your
chance and make it good!

You haven't disproved anything. It isn't even intelligent or logical. I
have no respect for those who doesn't respect the truth.

Be careful what you ask for. If there's a computer-related problem to
be had, chances are excellent that BillW50 has had it, and it wasn't
his fault. Or at least that's what he'll tell you.

Is that so know-it-all Char? That is odd since I haven't had most of the
problems stated in this newsgroup alone. But you know how I hate those
that has no respect for the truth, don't ya?

I wonder why.
I have only used it very carefully a few times myself. So I rely on what
my mentors say, Alias. But you have been labeled as a clear cut troll
for years now. So what do you care?

Why? Are there grammar police here? Anyway Edison, Einstein, and
zillions of other famous people and myself are all dyslexic. 5% to 10%
of the population are. So what about it?

Dyslexia... 'Multi-dimensional FreeThinkers'.
We are proud to think and learn differently.

Another *sigh"

I've been in this discipline perhaps too long. I earned my degree in
Electrical Engineering
from Purdue in 1962. I was an Engineer with the National Bureau of Standards
(Now NIST)
for 12 years+ in Radiation Physics, Optical Metrology and Automation
Technology.
I was an early contributor to the ARPANET. I can be found on a 1971 graphic
of the ARPANET.
(Bottom right hand corner, PDP8, NBS)

Designed and built microcomputers and process controllers from the Intel
8008 era.
Brought the S100 Bus systems (CP/M) to NBS as a Lab research tool.

I've paid my dues and contributed to the "State of the Art"

I just find your diatribes and "helpful comments", Bill, to be self serving,
and without much
believable credibility or merit.

I envision you in some lonely self made "lab" with two dozen plus "Good
Will" computers
humming away with no real purpose other than to consume AC current.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Your trite platitudes don't help you much either.

Regards,

Chris S.

I earned my EE degree while serving in the military at Millington, TN.
They only had taken like the top 5% who had passed the basic course to
take them through the advanced course. Once I finished, they said it was
a far more advanced course than anything on the outside you could get. I
also graduated with the highest test scores they had seen in 5 years.
Although I thought the whole thing was actually very easy. Honestly,
anything to do with electronics comes very easy to me.

During my tour of duty, I worked alongside with some of the best and
brightest engineers from Westinghouse and Honeywell. And remember that
computer that got Apollo to the moon? Yes, we used that one too for
military purposes and Honeywell built that one.

Yes, I heard of what people like Gary Kildall, Paul Allen, and Bill
Gates were up to. Although that didn't sound very exciting to me, since
the things we were doing were far more advanced. Funny though, even what
they were doing seemed like child's play. Yet those child's toys is what
made them rich and famous. Go figure.

After the military, Philips grabbed me up for their Electronic
Instrument division. Where I worked with some of the greatest scientists
and engineers. Yes I had a bit of an unusual life. And I was curious
about the military claim that I was trained far superior to the
education you could get on the outside. So I grabbed an opportunity to
be tested with a fresh group of electronic engineers right out of
various colleges. I was amazed how they thought the test was very hard.
And yes, I came out far on top there too.

So yes, so a bit different than your view of me sitting in a self made
lonely lab from computers from "Good Will". But I have run into a few of
those types before. And frankly, I wouldn't necessarily knock them. As
most of them are doing that because that is what they have a knack for.
And you can't knock them for that. Like you can't knock Michael Jordon
for playing basketball either. ;-)
