Seems to me the basic conflict between men and women, sexually, is that
men are like firemen.  To men, sex is an emergency, and no matter what
we're doing we can be ready in two minutes.  Women, on the other hand,
are like fire.  They're very exciting, but the conditions have to be
exactly right for it to occur.

Heh.... looks familiar. :)
Something really strange happened to my system... I tried to remove Norton
Protection from my recycle bin, and from that moment on, whenever I
right-click on the recycle bin (be it on the desktop, the folder tree in
Windows Explorer, or the file list in Windows Explorer) to empty it,
Explorer GPF's.. and unlike the docs for the FIRST windows 95 (doesn't apply
to 4.00.95.0 *B*), the system tray icons do not re-appear after explorer
(the module, not the program) is reloaded... *sigh*
Now Recycle Bin is no more... moowahahaha... Thank you WinHacker 95 for
removing all RB icons from my system! <G>
