>I have a new laptop and have been slowly loading things on it. It's running Vista Business. This morning I hooked up my fingerprint reader, webcam, and external harddrive and installed the drivers for each. Then when I tried to shutdown the machine .. it's stuck. It's sitting there saying "Shutting down..." and it's been that way for over 30 minutes. I even tried to power it off .. wait a while .. then turn it back on and it said "Shutting Down..."

>Help .. I'm dead in the water on that machine.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
