Oh Mikey....
...I couldn't sleep a wink (time at the beep...4:21am).
Actually it hit me about 2 minutes ago that I didn't "mess
up" my email address in the field at the top of the post
like I did when I ended the post, so I might as well get
another fork, cuz here comes some more spam <crossing
fingers...hope not :( >
I came across this cool little program at
www.eventid.net. It won't make you rich OR make you
dinner, but it DOES convert SIDs to Names and Names to
SIDs....it might help...I dunno. I just tried it with my
computername\username and it won (I lost again, DOH!), but
I'm not exactly sure if it's pulling the info from
Registry, or if it really is translating that thing. Who
knows...push Enter and you soon find out it was Professor
Plum, in the closet, with the iMAC....go figure. All of
that from a little string of numbers and letters....
...numbers and letters I will be counting in about 3
minutes as I watch a movie play on the inside of my
eyelids of sheep jumping over a fence. G'nite guys.
TTFN (too tired for NEthingmore),
