WinBlows is CRAP. Period. All versions, all of the time. Even when it
works as intended, it still isn't good enough.
It is true that a small linux distribution disk can often easily repair
a WinBlows Fried Filesystem, but nothing can fix Windows, 'cept for
replacing it with something else....
You may now return (hopefully) to your regularly scheduled PLUG
discussion list.

She can kill all your files;
She can freeze with a frown.
And a wave of her hand brings the whole system down.
And she works on her code until ten after three.
She lives like a bat but she's always a hacker to me.
