Any star wars stories taking place from the opening of episode 1 to the opening of episode 4 have pretty much wore out their welcome at this point. I dont hate the prequels like many people, but I'm sort of done with the whole timeline, so the Clone Wars show doesnt interest me at all. If they want me to be interested again they're gonna need to move to the time after the movies and continue the real story, not the prequels.

I caught a glimpse of the cartoon but never had any urge to actually sit and devote time to it. Is it worth checking out?

I think it's decent, definitely worth checking out for 30 minutes.
It's basically the Jedi and the Elite Clone Troopers chasing Grievous around, thwarting evil plans, etc.
nothing too heavy, but better TV than a lot of stuff out there.

The world is overpaid (or suffering from a lack of common sense.) I'll come back to this.
Ever have an old tube tv in your home growing up? Sometimes the screen would get all wacky, and someone would go over, smack the side of the tv, and it would work again. No one knew why, but it did, so it wasn't questioned. I'll come back to this, too.
At home yesterday, I was attempting to check my mail through Outlook Express. Time and time again I was getting error messages that the server couldn't be contacted. Tommy has been pressing buttons on the keyboard lately, so I figured it was possible that he clicked on the wrong this, hit a button, and changed a setting in Outlook (if he could purposefully change a setting I would be impressed.) So I check all the account settings, the incoming and outgoing servers, the port numbers, even my log in and password. Everything is exactly as I had it for the last X amount of years I've been checking my mail. In the end, nothing. Still can't access the mail server.
So I call the company I have my site through and ask them to check it out. They look over all my settings, change a few things, and then we try again. And again, nothing. As I can still browse sites and download, obviously it is not my connection. They guy sends a test email, and it doesn't show. He has me download thunderbird, do all the settings, and we try again. Nothing. He says it is nothing from their end, call cablevision. Maybe something happened on their end.
So I call Cablevision. The guy makes all changes to the settings the first made back to the original settings I put in. We test x,y, and z. Still nothing. The guy is baffled. He says he will talk to a new tech. 10 more minues on hold followed by 10 more minutes of solutions that do not work.
Total of an hour on the phone. No further along than when I started. I'm frustrated, so I hang up the phone, figure I'll try again in the morning. It's midnight.
BUT before I go to bed, let's try the pc version of a smack to the side of the tv: the restart.
Email works with no problem now.

Strange that the Cablevision guy didn't suggest a re-boot. That is usually the first thing they tell you to do if your Cable box isn't working, so why not the computer?
Anyway, good story, but you never got back to why the world is overpaid as promised.

So your computer is having ANY problem at all, ever?
1) Reboot. 2) Try other stuff.

What is it about a reboot that makes the computer work again? Mind you, the email stopped working out of nowhere. Is a reboot magical?

Next time try changing your IO.sys file into a bitmap. I hear that fixes most problems.

The thing is, one little problem in one program can overflow into others. The program might not even report an actual error, but it might get some data jammed in memory or any number of things, which can affect other programs. A reboot wipes that slate clean.
