this is why you should defrag and defrag often! this is what happens when you don't reboot and load your entire hdd full in 3 days lol

what is #2? is there a 3? and what is one.. how do you know which one another person may be talking about... when someone is in there for a fairly lengthy period of time and say he/she was going number 1.... would you look at them strangely?
