Hmm
Today everyone who uses a computer knows what a “file” is.
Of course, a tool we use when we make a saw’s teeth become sharper is also called a file.
Speaking of data storage technology,
it started from a bit of Kilo byte, Mega byte and Giga byte, now upto Tera byte.
Now 500 TB hardisk are out there in the market.
(But the memory stick I’m using now is always 2GB! 😉 buuuut it’s pretty much for me, of course!! )
Betty Boop??
I don’t know Betty Boop.
I just know Betty, Peter. Where are they?
Betty, you wrote you were worried sick about me.

Hi! Last night there was something awfully in my country.
An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 with a strong shaking . With no damage.
But the fear is hidden in our mind, in our heart. When is the next coming, the big one?
Nobody knows, but for sure in 2013, the specialists said.
Hi! It’s autumn and my soul is a “waste land”.
My own reasons. Nobody can help me.
Hi!
“There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine.
……………………………………
Never mind silent fields –
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been.”
There Is Another Sky by Emily Dickinson
Hi! Unfortunately, it’s October and in my garden it was snowing for a few days.
In the mountains there were temperatures of minus 14 Celsius degrees and a lot of snow.
Hi!
I understood any expert hacker could find out any sophisticated password with a special program or by chance.
A good example is the movie “Mercury Code” with Bruce Willis, where an autist child found out an important password by chance.
A good movie, in my opinion.
But indeed, funny list of passwords. Mine, too.
Hi! A possible answer to Myo ko ko:
I know where Betty is.
“BETTY FRIEDAN” means Betty is friend with Dan.

Tania you seem to be bitter with life, don’t you? Treat life with sweetness and get aweetnes in return. It is not worth spending energy with silly things, they will go and you will forget them for sure The worries go and life stay. Try once and you will see that this is a great true. It was a pleasure to talk to you.
