Sandy, In my own defense I would like to report that in the last few months I've been chastised (I prefer chastised instead of saying what he really did) for cutting so much off a post that they had to back track to refresh their memory on what the post contained and also for using TinyUrl. It appears that TinyUrl is used in some circles to send you to bad places??? Once advised about using the preview feature in TinyUrl the problem went away. I really must apoligize to Gman about the post regarding Scanlog though. A couple of days before that discussion of where scanlog could be found I had been working on a machine with Win 2000 installed. The image of scanlog on the root drive was still etched in my mind and when it was reported to be in Event Viewer, or whatever, my head rolled "TILT". I haven't opened an Event Viewer in weeks. When I booted that machine again and opened Win Explorer, Scanlog popped into view immediately. I got so excited about still being "sane" that I impulsively decided to report my findings. I opened OE and had to download over 400 msgs to find the one on Scanlog. When I found it I typed in a rapid reply and sent it. I didn't think, or look at the post, and didn't realize it went clear into the basement. My apologies! but, That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ----------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy" <sandy.rick@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 8:56 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: External HDD format-- Roger-Scanlog > i've been so absorbed in my own little world that I know i'm a > guilty party in this too. > Sandy --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
