Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

New Cray supercomputer is the fastest in the world

You think your expensive, custom-built gaming PC is powerful? You think you've got the hottest computer on the block because you can run Crysis at full specs? I'm not impressed. You want to see an impressive computer? Say hello to the Cray XT Jaguar supercomputer.

It's got some pretty mind-blowing specs: 45,000 quad-core Opteron processors, 362TB of RAM, and a 10PB (petabyte) storage array. The whole thing cooks along at a serious 1.64 petaflops. It's the fastest machine on earth being used for non-classified research, but you've got to assume there are even bigger and badder machines in the deep, secret halls of government.

Sure, the CPUs and RAM are impressive, but what's the video card like?

My guess is that's what the 'XT' in the name stands for. So pro'lly it has an 80x25 character green monochrome monitor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I eventually spoke to HP Support and they told me to go into the Options of HP ProtectTools Security Manager, where you can switch off the automatic capture.

Yeah, I think that's what finally worked, but not until I restarted the computer, which I had forgotten to do! Thanks!

Sue-

In word you can import another document-- can you do that in word perfect?

Art Crawl!!!

I believe that Sue should be able to import a file into her WP document. I seem to recall doing that back when I had word perfect.

Import or insert - I think you should see if you can insert a file into the document you want it. As you would if you were adding an image to the document.

Does anyone know how to copy and paste a bunch of small tables in word perfect at once?

Have you tried "Select all" and then used Control C to copy rather than the copy command? Inexplicably, Control C sometimes copies differently. Or, taking Vortex's idea a little further, can you convert table to text separated by tabs, then do the opposite in the new document?

I read an article once about the Cray supercomputers in which they interviewed one of the users about the speed. He said, "At first, it was 'Oh, shit, that's fast,' but after a few weeks, I was going 'Come on, come on."

hip deep in pie

I am not trying to import a file, just several tables from one document and I can't see a way to do it.

CTRL-A seems to only copy the text, not the table formatting.

Thanks for all the advice. I've managed to copy and paste them all one by one. I only cried when WP crashed twice.

I'll have to revisit this when I am not so pressed for time.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Sue, maybe next time, delete all the extraneous information around the table, so that all that's left in the original document is the table, save it with a new name, and then import that document into the one where you want the table. (What sumi said, but with a little more detail.)

I think that ought to work, though it's been a long time since I used WP.
