XP Help won't show me anything relevant for Partition Manager .
I have to go google to learn the phrase disk management.
So use Help to find Disk Management and I run it, and the
map at the bottom shows the flashdrive as 15.92 gig,
FAT32, and healthy.
That healthy label just means there is no blindingly
obvious problem, not that it really is completely healthy.
You've just about convinced me it's a fake, but how did it
fool XP Disk Management, half of which says it's 15.92 gig?
It isnt that hard to fool that bit of XP, it just asks the
device how big it is and it believes any lie the device
tells it on that.
The same thing happens with drives short stroked by the
manufacturer when they no longer make the size that is
replaced under warranty and they ship the bigger one that
they currently make and just short stroke it so it claims to
be smaller than it actually is, normally with rotating hard drives.
Name one manufacturer today that does that?
All of them, ****wit.
If a hard disk can be "short stroked," at the factory...is it
possible that a person's brain could be short stroked, at birth?
Yes, most obviously with substance abuse and even with alcohol abuse.
FAS even produces quite distinctive effects on the appearance of
the brat.

That's very sad (although, I'd been vaguely aware of it, already);
I was only kidding, before.
Yeah, that was obvious.
There's some truth in everything, eh?
Folkert Rienstra springs immediately to mind, as a likely candidate!
And that gutless clown above in spades.
You know what, however? It seems almost >everybody<
has abandoned this newsgroup, lately. Several days have
sometimes passed, with NO posts, whatsoever.
Thats true of all the other tech groups too. Have a look at the gps
groups sometime.
Oh, I'm quite cognizant of Usenet's precipitous decline.
(Microsoft even cancelled its own news server, during 2010.)
One notable exception is another newsgroup that I follow, regularly:
<
RPD is still pretty active, these days.
Conversely, <is in a comatose
state, at the moment. For December, 2010 (through the 30th), "Google
Groups" indicated 66 messages; the all-time low was 73 (July, 2010).
[Folksy, himself, skipped completely out of Usenet, around two
years ago.]
Yeah, it would be interesting to know what happened to him.
I have had a couple quite literally end up dead.
Anybody who was a frequenter of our storage group, here?
