As long as a reach-around isn't involved, I'm OK with that
I don't know what kind of family you grew up in, but the reunions had to be pretty goddamn interesting.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I heard over-clicking can make you go blind.

And over-use of the scroll wheel will make hair grow on your palm.

Can I just click until I need glasses?

Sometimes, I think of 2 dorks clicking the mouse, and I click the mouse by myself.

It's been a long time since someone besides me handled my click wheel.

Hi everyone - I was working with my mother's PC tonight, doing some regular maintenance stuff... disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, you know, normal, basic stuff, and I just got this:
"Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original version of these files. Insert your Windows 2000 Professional CD now."
(Yes, Windows 2000. We don't want to move too quickly into the future here in PA.) I swear that I only told it to erase the temporary internet files and things like that -- nothing like system files or setup files. And now I've just broken out into a cold sweat, because this is my mother's PC, and she apparently doesn't have the CD for it, and other than never turning this thing off again, I'm not entirely sure what to do. Do any of you technologically gifted people have any ideas? Is there any way to un-delete files that were deleted by the disk cleanup process, as long as I don't turn off the PC?

Can you do a system restore? Would that work?

I tried to look up directions for "system restore" in the index, and the closest I could find was "system resources." Maybe that's not an option with Windows 2000? I seem to remember an option with Windows ME that let users reset everything back to a point when things were working well, but I can't find that option with 2000. (Is that what you meant by system restore?)
