Wanted: A duplicate file finder that will cache the file information of certain folders so that those whose contents don't change need not be re-scanned every time a dupe check is run. If you're wondering, no, I couldn't think of a more concise way to word that. I've tried, like, almost every program of that sort known to man, and have not yet found one that does what I need. Re-scanning the unchanging folders every time is both unnecessary wear and tear on the drives, not to mention a big waste of time.
Pertinent info: Running Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations.
I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world.
Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up.
All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers!
Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
I actually agree with "Good Bot". "millions" - I wonder how they made that assertion. Did they guess? If so, not good enough. Hence "clickbait". If they said "five people" it'll still be clickbait. It's clickbait unless there are actual proven figures to substantiate that claim
