  1. Just a thought. Do you or did you use any external hdd or thumb drive with this computer? Also, do you have backup of all your essential files. Since you have XP, I don't think your actual windows folder will delete so easily. Why don't you try deleting and see what happens.

  2. No, have not been able to find any in Thailand yet.

    Phil, yes it's somewhat like a table snooker. Only difference is that instead of using a long stick, the coins are hit with the fingers. It's a game that require 2 to 4 players. So, finding just one another player is not a big problem though.

  3. He bugun shooting at the paper target as normal, left the range for a few minutes and then returned to his shooting booth number 14 supervised by Khun Wishit aged 27 who works for the Tiffany Shooting Range.

    Somebody interrogate Khun Wishit. He's lying :D . Mr. Korab was not shooting the paper targets but he and Wishit were actually playing a round of Russian roulette and Mr. Korab ran out of luck :o .

  4. More information about your browser too. And what antivirus sw are you using? I am having problem similar to what you experience with Netscape at office. But, upload is fine from home computer.

  5. DONT FORGET TO FEED YOUR food BUGS. they are more or less self reproducing and your stock will grow but u ahve to feed them well or your pets wont eat well (a thin calf is awful veal).

    bina, I did leave some cabbage leaves for those worms. :D

    Have you thought of catching a few more and starting again ?

    It's not like I see these spiders running around everyday. Now I don't live in the place where I originally caught this one. Even then, I lived in that place for 4 years, yet saw this type of spider only twice during this period. :D

    Actually, I'm more fascinated with the tiny jumping type as colourful as the one shown in the pictures below. It's really difficult to find something for them to eat. :o

    PS: the above pictures are all of the same spider in different angle.

    EDIT: To add the PS

  6. Here's pics of what I used to keep Caught this fellow running around the house in Bangers. I used the term used to keep because I had 3 different species of large spiders and was feeding them those mealworms like in the picture that Bambina posted. All of them died on me. Read below for more details.

    Sometimes, when I was too busy to go out to buy these worms, I would catch tiny critters around and feed them to these spiders.

    One really terrible thing I noticed is this. My office is located in a high rise building and it is infested with !#@$# roaches. The tiny type, not the big ones. It's a wonder the management cannot control this problem. Well, our office as well as many others in the building have contract with pest control for weekly spray of poison to kill these buggers, yet they always come back the very next day after the spraying is finished.

    What's the above information got to do with spiders :o? Well, at times, when I really cannot find other critters around, I would catch these roaches from my office and fed them to the spiders. I did not realize the problem the first two time. The very next day after ingesting these roaches, the spiders died. I blamed myself the 1st two time that I was not looking after them properly. Only on the 3rd death I realized that the poison was in the roaches :D:o:o . Feeding them critters caught around the house never caused a problem. Only the ones from the office building. Anyone else noticed this?

    PS: Whether you call these 20030519154820.jpgcritters mealworm or larvae, I don't know. But with the third death, I had a bit of these critters left in a box. I put some cabbage leaves and forgot about them for a couple of days. One day when I looked into the box, most of them had already disappeared and a few beetles left behind. So, bina's correct about the black beetle thing.

    Here's my "Windows" folder:
