Unfortunately, most of us will just cry. The problem will still be with
us in some version of Windows 2001 (or whatever the next release is).
About the only thing that MIGHT cure it is a tactical nuclear strike at,

(*SIGH*).
Probably much off topic, but a comentary of the day. I apologize in advance.
