^ Aww thanks Yeah I now have a grand total of 500 words of my 4000 word essay done. Its the footnoting thats bad.. coz everythign I say has to be backed up and you ahev to be careful of where you ahev gotten your ideas from - otherwise its classed as plagiarism. Ugh. Law sucks.One of my essays last year had 150 footnotes.... now that was some studying I can tell you.

You're welcome. That doesn't sound like any fun at all... And I know, tis a pain in the butt. I always hated to do essay's and term papers. Good luck. I think wild life biology would be neat. I had always wanted to be an archaeologist, and even have a minor in history. But when it came to choosing a field to work in, I chose nursing. And worked for 10 years in the field before I got too sick to work, and became disabled. You can always find a job in the health fields, as someone is always going to need care.

^ Wow. Nursing seems like a tough but worthwhile job so kudos to you for doing it.
I now have 1300 and somethign words done... and am compeltly thinking it makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well. If I get a bad mark I get a bad mark.. I'll darn well explain to her that maybe if she gave us some direction rather than telling us to write anything as long as ONE case is critically analysed! One case! You cant simply analyse one case as being indicative of all legal theory.. Ive refered to 16 other cases in the first 4 pages alone! Ugh.. Ive just had a total rant down the phone to my parents about why law lecturers think its acceptable to give us enough work for the same deadline to give us a mini breakdown.So not ina good mood today!
Biology huh? I wasn';t ever any good at Biology.. not good at any kinda science really. I was always better at Languages and history in high school. Languages just came easily to me and history is interesting so...

Well the main reason is because I love animals. Always have, they're my passion and I want to help them.
Dude that sucks about your essay I'm sorry.....

I just got a free license key that will give me a 10-year subscription to any version of AVG anti-virus I want.

I loved the work. I always ended up getting attached to my patients though, so when they died it hurt. (I worked mostly in nursing homes or private duty.) It can be very rewarding when you make a difference in someone's life like that. It's great to see a smile on their face when they are beginning to feel better after being sick. Congratulations!! I use AVG myself. It is much better than Norton. I had that and it seemed to miss stuff....

^ See I think it would upset me too much to be a nurse etc - for the reasons you stated. That and I dont think I would have the emotional strength to do it. Thats why I chose to be a lawyer - I get to be nasty to people instead and make a difference....well to my bank balance at least Just kidding... Ooh I have AVG also... it works perfectly well and Im very happy with it

It didn't seem like it worked anywhere near as good as AVG. I used to get all sorts of tracking cookies. Since I switched I've not had even those. My scans always come back clean, and I do them daily.

No, I did so with Norton also. I've always scanned my pc for viruses and spyware on a daily basis, I also do a registry cleaning on it daily. Yep, I'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to keeping my pc in good working order. Norton just didn't seem to catch some stuff. I think it's way overrated and AVG works much better and is free.

I'm that way, too. I've also got to look after my mom's machine, too. She has seemingly little interest in PC maintenance, or even PC security in general!
I despise Norton. Performance is decent, but it hogs RAM. I've used Avast, Avira, and several others, but I always end up going back to AVG. Avast is okay, but I found it kind of complicated. AVIRA, HOWEVER, IS A VIRUS PROGRAM IN ITSELF!!! DO NOT EVER USE AVIRA! IF ANYONE IS USING AVIRA, I IMPLORE YOU TO DELETE EVERY TRACE OF IT FROM YOUR MACHINE, INSTALL AVG, NORTON, ANYTHING, AND IMMEDIATELY SCAN YOUR MACHINE!!!
Ashe, what registry cleaner do you use? Is there a trial version that actually functions (rather than detect errors, then tell you to buy the program to fix them)? I was using a trial version of Advanced Registry Optimizer that could heal 20 errors per install (if it detected more, I could simply uninstall, then reinstall it and heal 20 more errors), but my recent AVG upgrade detected a rootkit in the program that was a real B*****d to heal.

I use Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. It's a free download, and detects and repairs the errors. Here is the link: Eusing Free Registry Cleaner Download [/url] I like it and it seems to work fine for me.

What version of AVG do you use? The free one? If so, I can PM you the 10-year license key and a link to a free download of the full Professional pay version. Just cut and paste that key, and your license expiration date will be 2-26-2018!
Edit: Wow, that registry cleaner is thorough! It detected 259 errors when my ARO trial was typically picking up 8 or 9 at a time! How long have you been using it? Has it ever deleted anything important by mistake?
I'm just asking because some registry optimizers can do that on rare occasion.
