A file that big ?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
The Web site you seek
Can not be located but

Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Thought for the day

Remember the three 'R's
