1/2 Empty or 1/2 Full

if you're a generally positive person, you're more likely to look at things with a more positive perspective. the gas tank is half full.. the in-basket is half empty..

as far as downloading, it depends what you're downloading. if you're getting full albums from emusic at the rate of several a day, you might need to monitor your drive space a bit

That is a good point about the albums. I thought most music is downloaded to CD or DVD and not the hard drive. I am a modem user so that is something I know zip about. 2 hours for one song is not worth the time downloading. I made a SysMetrix skin yesterday and then noticed the other skins have the memory set as what is used and I set the memory for what is available. I want to get with the program

actually, partitioning is more than a folder, it is a hardware definition. You can reformat, install another OS, whatever you like. Partitioning can be a life saver when you need to reformat/reinstall the OS a machine with ~100gigs of stored media . Many an optimistic person has sat for 10 hours restoring ~100 gig a single partition from CD-ROMs. Me, I opt for a second physical drive, but that isn't always an option.

As a "Half-Empty" person, I think we just equate optimism with carelessness. Why not just refill the glass, the gas tank, the ram, etc., before you run out? Less thirst, walking, crashing, etc. involved...

My gas tanks are for Oxy-Acetylene.....my car has a petrol tank....so the question is moot...

As far as the glass of water being half full or half empty.............I say the glass is too damn big for the amount of water it contains.


petrol....? I dun need no astinkin petrol

Jafo: is the petrol tank near the boot? do you park it near your flat as you run to the loo? Crikey, just don't be potty and smoke your fags near the petrol tank of your motor!! You'll be a mightily cheesed off bloke on his way to the chemist for sure!!

(the preceeding was a sad, sad attempt at a cross-cultural dialogue, and even worse, a British dialogue with a Australian. I sadly omitted all approriate cultural references to "putting a shrimp on the barby", wrestling crocodiles, etc., and I feel like a bloody queenslander for it. ; ) )
