Windows startup sound

[Dave]

And my observations and advice were very generously given by me entirely
free of charge. I don't seem to be getting much thanks. So don't expect
me to post again until I have another problem with windows 7.

I await ever so anxiously for you to have another problem with life, er,
windows 7.

Step by step instructions would be ideal. However I appreciate that might
be too time consuming. It's not his response which is irritating, it's
his and other peoples ' assertion that he has explained himself as clearly
as possible. This is clearly transparently false.

Here's some "step-by-step" instructions for you that I'll bet you've heard a
lot in your short life.
1. Rise up on the balls of your feet.
2. Spin to the right, gently, so as to not cause vertigo.
3. When pointing 180 deg. opposed to target of your stupidity, squat
slightly
4. Launch into a sprint, don't stop until you get to Wonderland.

And this issue of whether information can be said to exist in the absence
of a conscious mind is much more interesting than might initially be
supposed. It has ramifications for whether a computer can ever said to be
able to understand or be conscious for example. But let's not get into
that.

More of your rationalization for justification. You do like to juxtapose,
don't you?

I agree with your assessment, but I'm going to be walking around for the
rest of the day chuckling about the "funny round thing."

Thanks - you made my day!

I use such little analogies from time when I am defending the use (and the
necessity) of jargon. Not everyone likes it when I do that

Not everybody likes it when I don't poofread (sic; it's another of my ideas
of humor).

"such little analogies" should be "little analogies like that"

"from time" should be "from time to time".

Well I followed his instructions as carefully as possible supplemented with
reading various webpages. It doesn't work.

Strange. After this discussion got up to speed I did try the bloke's
instruction. They worked.

But then, you seem a bit strange.You seem to believe that somehow,
perhaps with their magic wand, anyone who is instructing you will,
somehow, bludgeon the knowledge into your skull and Viola! You will
know. If you don't know it is the fault of someone else.... you don't
have to exert yourself, you simply tip your head back and open your
mouth, like a baby bird, and someone else will pour the knowledge in.
You don't even have to chew.

My experience, and from your writing I am certain that my experiences
far outweigh yours, is that all the Instructor can do is make the
information available. It is up to the student to assimilate it.

Thanks for the last paragraph. It gave me one (actually three) of my better
laughs today.
