Does anyone else experience this problem? When I have five browser windows open, the digital clock on the computer will suddenly lock up. This happens maybe twice a day. I'm on the computer with the five windows open about nine hours a day. This first started with my two year old Dell. The battery in the Dell was fine. When I upgraded to a Celeron 466 with a new mother board and battery, I thought the problem would end but it has not. When I notice the time has stopped I double click on the time and bring up Date/Time Properties. The time here is correct. I click on OK and the digital clock then jumps to the correct time. I originally called Dell and they decided it was a Windows problem and didn't know how to correct it.

The 'mb' typo ...

If the number really was 'mb', a 1gig disk would only hold a very few files! Perhaps, since Windows uses 'm' so much more than 'k', the typist's fingers retained their 'training' inappropriately.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. Math wizards could determine how many files a disk would hold.
