Yeah, gone are the days when I could remember two floors of IP addresses or had to. Have for breakfast?...now that is an easy one; Granola, same breakfast going on forty years. ;-) Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Fuller" <fuller.artful at gmail.com> To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2013 10:07:43 AM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Sticky "ghost" partion on SSD So do I. My problem is short-term memory. Hell, I still remember the serial number of my first bicycle. purchased about 60 years ago. Problem is, I can't remember what I had for breakfast, or even if I had any. If I did, chances are it was Cheerios, or maybe eggs. Don't know.
