Windows Media Player-No Audio
Windows Media Player for Windows Me
I suddenly lost audio through Windows Media Player. It will not play my
audio CDs. This is what I have done.
I tried installing my Sound Blaster Live driver. It processed through until
it stopped and sent this message: â??File Driver6.CAB on Windows Me edition is
needed.â?? At this point I did not know what to do next and aborted the driver
installation.
I then went to the Dell troubleshooting diagnostics for audio and it told me
to search for the following files:
midi=mmsystem.dll
wave=mmsystem.dll
I did a search and the files were not listed. The Dell diagnostics told me
to contact my manufacturer if the files were missing.
So, can someone assist me what to do next?
Thanks,

Reinstalling Windows Me
It sounded like it was too easy!!
Successfully reinstalled Windows Me this morning, subsequently taking
several hours downloading all the updates. In the process of downloading
required utilities, I ran into a memory problem which made no sense. However
I have subsequently found out that previous partitions appear to have
remained, although they are not recognized in MY COMPUTER.
Background: This is a 10 GB Compaq Laptop which is shipped with the O/S on
the C: drive and the Recovery System on D:. A couple of years ago, I had
created a new partition to house all of my data files., OE Message store,
tmp and temp.
Currently, MY COMPUTER shows C: at 4.86 GB and D: at 2.72 GB, however
SYSTEMS INFORMATION shows the following; 3 Partitions Size 9.37 GB
Partition Disk#0 (Partition #0) Size 4.88 GB
Partition Disk#0 (Partition #1) Size 2.73 GB
Partition Disk #0 (Partition #2) Size 1.75 GB
BootIt NG shows the following;
MBR Entry 0 Partition 4997nMB FAT-32
Data Partition 1796 MB FAT-32
MBR Entry 1 Partition 2793 MB Extended
System_S Volume 2793 MB FAT-32
I had thought I understood that the Compaq Recovery Discs would reformat my
computer and restore to a Factory level. Obviously not so. I'm ready to
start over but this time I need a little more guidance as to how to do it
properly. Was I supposed to format C: and D: separately before starting? D0
I use the startup disk for this or should I use BootIt NG to format and wipe
everything clean?
I'm on my way out for the evening and will be busy tomorrow afternoon but
will be ready to tackle this thereafter.

AdAware SE Personal Build
I just read the tail end of the recent thread regarding AdAware SE and would
appreciate if someone wouldn't mind taking a few minutes more and clarifying
this for me.
My version of AdAware is SE1R210.27.12.2007. Any time I check for updates
I'm told that I am up to date. A visit to the Lavasoft website explains that
support for this version expired December 31, 2007 but that I should replace
it with AdAware 2007. The problem is that 2007 requires Windows 2000 or
better.
Mike has explained to Heather that Lavasoft has fixed the problem with the
dated definitions and that she can download new definitions for AdAware SE
from the Lavasoft site. I do indeed see where the DOWNLOAD button is on the
webpage that Mike referenced but Lavasoft is still saying that they no
longer support AdAware SE.
So the question is, did Lavasoft simply fix the issues related to dated
definitions or is AdAware SE now back with full support. Given that this
'puter operates with Windows Me, it would appear to me that either SE
remains supported otherwise I must uninstall it because I won't be able to
run AdAware 2007.
Am I right or did I miss something?

power-down stuck in "re-boot"...
hello, trying to offer some long distance help to a friend who's running ME
on a P3-450.
He may have inadvertently caused this problem from a windows tweak, but his
computer now does not do an auto shut-down from the "start" menu, as it did
before, but simply re-boots.
Is there is a windows tweak that could affect this, or is it more likely a
BIOS problem?
thanks for any suggestions...

System Restore has a CreateRestore option?
I ask (again) because, IMHO, it doesn't make good sense for it not to
and Andy Rathbone, in his books Windows Me for Dummies, describes
System Restore as having a CreateRestore point as well as an option to
select a prior creation.
Our WinME computer, working pretty well for eight years now, has no
such option or I sure as he!! can't find it....
Another peculiarity was, at first I could not get the Movie Maker to
work with our Sony VX1000 camcorder. I got some support from MS which
fixed that.
And I found one of the Sony Blue Ray RW DVDs worked well with winME
although Sony said it shouldn't. I think a lot of us have seen that
kind of good news several times.
Can someone tell me if my SystemRestore is "off" or is it just me? Tag: Computer shuts down automatically. Tag: 293025
Hotfixes and Updates for Me
I have a six-year-old Dell with Windows Me that I would like to give to a
friend or close acquaintance, but first I want to remove personal stuff like
letters (no porn, nothing that shouldn't be seen by anybody, but of no
business to others). I understand that the Format command will accomplish
as much as I need, but Format will also remove the operating system (won't
it?). I have all the CDs that came with this machine when I bought it new,
so I ought to be able to restore Windows Me. But what about all the
modifications that took place before MS stopped support for Me? Can I get
the hotfixes, etc., that bring this computer up to the level it was when MS
discontinued support?
TIA.

New Computer, ME incompatable, XP is only upgrade
In Microsofts great wisdom, they made the XP professional upgrade require
windows already be installed. I have a new computer so it started without
windows. Not knowing a way around the problem, I installed (or at least
tried to) Windows ME. It halts due to a lack of compatable drivers. Restart
it and it comes up without the CD (actually DVD) drive. Yes the drive works,
its the one Windows ME was installed from. Now I have an extremely limited
Windows ME with no way to access the XP professional disk. Anyone know of a
work around? Tag: Computer shuts down automatically. Tag: 293001
Registry Defragmenters
Hello:
There have been a few threads recently on the use of registry cleaners.
While some people like them and have not had any bad experiences with them,
the consensus seems to be that such tools should be avoided by inexperienced
users.
I have also seen registry defragmenter utilities available, both as part of
commercial software, as well as shareware and freeware. Does the advice to
avoid registry cleaners also apply to registry defragmenters - that is to
avoid them?
Is it best simply to not touch the registry (other than using a tool like
System Restore)?
Thanks,

Help, my System Restore has no Create a Restore Point option..(NDE).
Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point'
option...
I know this is incredibly late to notice but it is true. I see no
option to (manually) create a Restore Point. I do get "automatic"
creation of restore points usually once a day, occasionally twice,
occasionally none. I thought that was a bit odd but it has "worked"
for me so far. In thelast 3 months I have used Restore points 3 or 4
times to recover from odd ball system (Near Death Experience) behavior
I finally got to checking Andy Rathbone's Microsoft Windows Me For
DUMMIES, both volumes, and it is pretty clear that I should.
In the first 5 or more years I've been using this computer I rarely if
at all (deliberately) used it. Now I find it indispensable and I would
like more control over the making and deleting of my Restore Points.
Anybody heard of this problem? Is this fixable with just editing the
registry? What is it's module name / cab file ? ??
Thank you very very much. Tag: Computer shuts down automatically. Tag: 292952
Problem reinstalling winME
Is there something about installing winME that causes it to freeze
exactly 10% in to the Copy Files portion of the install. Or is it my
harddrive, and what should I do about it?
I banged my IBM Thjnkpad 600E laptop really hard, and winME won't
start anymore, but DOS will, from a rescue disk**. Whether I should
have or not, I ran DOS scandisk for many hours, and until today, kept
finding 1 or 2 or 8 clusters that scandisk disabled, although for the
last few passes, they were just clusters that it thought ran slow and
it expected to fail soon.
During all of this, I used a recovery disk to start DOS, and on about
5 occasions then used a legitimate ME update CD to try to install ME.
Everything went fine during the install until the middle of the Copy
Files portion, and then every time, always at the 10% mark, TEN
percent, the install freezes. The CD light goes off but the HD light
stays on, without blinking at all, and I can even hear the sound of
the hard drive, buzz for 2 seconds, silence for two seconds (three
times) then silent for 5 seconds and start again. The buzz is more
like a boozz. :) The only way to stop this is to turn off the
computer.
Other than running scandisk, which each time marks a few clusters not
to be used, except this last time when it found none to complain
about, i haven't used the laptop for anything, so maybe there is a bad
spot on the HD that scandisk can't find??? and maybe the install gets
to the same bad spot always somewhere in the 10% portion of copy
files. Does that seem likely?
Should I delete some files I can do without, so that there will be
more good space, and then I might see it not freeze until 15 or 20%?
but how can I make sure the OS stores files on this newly available
space, instead of where it is storing them now? What can I do?
**Wouldn't it be better in this situation if winME provided a method
to start DOS without a rescue disk, straight from the hard drive?
That's how win3.1, 95 and 98 worked.

At one time or another some data files in my documents folder were

M'I-5 Persecutio n my r esponse to the harassmen t
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= my. response to the harassment -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My first reaction in 1990/91 was. to assume that if I broke contact then
they would not be able to follow and. would lose interest. So I did the
things that have been suggested by other people;. I sold my television,
stopped listening to the radio and tried to. withdraw away from the sources
of abuse as much as possible. I reasoned that they must. have more important
things to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone. if
it were made difficult. for them to continue their harassment.
I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness of the abusers. They did. not
let up but. instead "got to" people around me, mainly people at work, to do
their dirty work for them. I went to see my GP, who refused to. believe what
he was being told,. and refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of
practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed that the. GP
admitted the matter was outside his competence and. suggested going to the
police.
In. the summer of 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a
private detective agency to sweep our house and telephone. for bugging
devices. They conducted a thorough search and. found nothing; but as noted
above, since the existence of. surveillance was being forced in my face by
the harassers, you would expect them to have taken the. possibility of a
counter-surveillance sweep into. account when planning the type of devices
to be. employed.
In Easter 1995. I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but
the police have not expressed any. intention to do anything about the
continuing harassment ("we're. not saying it's happening and we're not
saying it isn't happening" were the words used).. I think the officer I
spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of it happening,. although other members of
the police. force obviously do know.
From. April 1995 until the present time the matter has been discussed in a
lot of. detail on the Usenet (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion
has given birth to the article which you are now reading.. My hopes in
posting to Usenet were that wider. publicizing would discourage the security
services from. continuing their harassment, and "draw people out" into
concurring with the truth of what was being said. Neither of those. have
followed, but the discussion has served a purpose in. allowing this
structured report. to be created.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-= purpose in publicizing it; censorship in uk.*. newsgroups -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The postings to uk.misc newsgroup generated a very defensive reaction. from
Usenet. readers in the UK. So much so, that they tried strenuously to
suppress what was being said, both. by breaking the rules of netiquette in
their responses on. the forum, and directly by action to revoke the account
from which the. postings were issued.
Yet the postings were within. the normal boundaries of behaviour for
uk.misc, and other less partisan spectators did not. see justice in the
censorship which was. effected, as the following excerpt shows;
:Karen. Lofstrom (lofstrom@lava.net) wrote
:>It does seem that the. frequency and the size of his posts are
:>approaching net abuse. However,. IMHO, they aren't quite there yet. If
:>his postmaster were to act. in this instance, it would raise troubling
:>censorship. issues.
The inescapable conclusion of the. censorship effected on the uk.*
newsgroups is that the British are intent on. their wrongdoing remaining
concealed, and therefore seek to. subvert and suppress freedom of speech,
not only in their own country where the media shows xenophobic bias. and
bile against all perceived enemies within and. without, but also in other
countries. which have their own statutes to guarantee the basic human right
of. free speech.
It is absolutely necessary to bring their hate. campaign out into the open
where it can be placed under scrutiny and the harassers seen for. what they
are. That is the only way of making. it impossible for the security services
to carry it out. There is a. wider dimension, though. Xenophobia as
demonstrated by. British people and institutions over the last few years
belongs to the same stable as racial hatred. In one case,. two youths on a
Tube train. made that racism explicit by referring to their victim as a
"soft toy, not up to British Standards".. Doubtless others victimize partly
on the. basis of race (isn?t it odd that they chose to torment someone who
is. not ethnically English?) while expressing their abuse in terms of
another genetic attribute,. namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a
genetic basis is wrong, but. while racial insults are illegal, abusing the
mentally. ill is neither against the law nor subject to similar condemnation
when it is. exposed.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=. abuse in set-up situations and in public -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Strangers in. the street have recognized me on sight many times, and shown
awareness of the current thread of. abuse. To give you one example, in 1992
I was seriously ill, and a manager at work somewhat humorously said. that
"it wasn't fair". that people were bullying me. A few days later, I attended
for the first time a clinic in London as an outpatient,. and on my way out
was accosted by someone. who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis
on the word "fare".. He repeated the word several times in this different
context; that they should. have paid my "fare", each time emphasizing the
word.
For two. and a half years from the time their harassment started until
November 1992 I refused to see a. psychiatrist, because I reasoned that I
was not ill of my own action or. fault, but through the stress caused by
harassment,. and that a lessening of the illness would have to be consequent
to a removal of its immediate. cause, in other words a cessation of
harassment. I also reasoned that since. they were taunting me with jokes
about mental illness, if. I were to seek treatment then the abusers would
think that. they had "won" and been proved "right". Remember, the constant
theme of any. persecution is, "we must destroy you because you're X",
whether X is a racial. or other attribute. In this case the X was "we
persecute you because you have brain disease". The similarity. of this logic
to Nazi attitudes to the. mentally ill is striking.
The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair". asked me in winter 1992 why I
didn't seek help. from a psychiatrist; was it, he asked, because "they would
think they had won" if I sought treatment?. That was something I'd never
said at work.... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many such
things over a period of months proves. conclusively that people in the
company knew what was going on, and. in quite a lot of detail.
Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your
fare". Most people's imagination does. not go beyond moronic parroting of
the current term of denigration.. That is not surprising given the average
level of the abusers; if they do. not have the intelligence to distinguish
wrong from right then neither will they have the. capacity for anything
other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic. term calculated to fit
into their. minds.
The first incidents of verbal. assault in public were in again in the summer
of 1990, although they increased in frequency and venom with time. In. July
1990. the first public incident occurred on a tube train on the Northern
line. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the women. sprang to my
defence, saying "He. looks perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill". Their
boyfriends of course knew better, and followed the. party line; one of them
made reference to an "operation", apparently to work. at the tube station
but implicitly to a visit that I had made to hospital a couple of. weeks
previously.
In August 1990 going home from. college, soon after getting on a tube train
at Gloucester Road I. was followed by a group of four youths, who started a
chant. of abuse. That they were targeting me was confirmed by other people
in the carriage, one of. whom asked the other "who are they going on at, is
it the bloke who just got on?" to which the second. replied "yes, I think
so". I. was tempted to reply, but as in every other instance the abusers are
enabled in their cowardice by physically outnumbering the abused;. any
confrontation would result in my being beaten up, followed. by a complaint
to the police that "he. attacked us", and of course he's ill, so he must
have been imagining that we. were getting at him. Shitty, aren't they?
But the shittiness. of the four youths on the tube train is as nothing
compared to the episode on the. National Express coach to Dover in the
summer of 1992. While going on holiday to the. Continent I was verbally set
upon by. a couple travelling sitting a few rows behind. The boy did the
talking, his. female companion contributing only a continuous empty giggling
noise. He. spoke loudly to ensure other people on the coach heard, always
about "they" and "this bloke" but never naming either the abusers. or the
person he was talking about. He said "they". had "found somebody from his
school, and he was always really stressed at school".. They must have dug
deep to find enemies there;. perhaps someone who dropped out of school,
someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous and. keen to get their
own back? The boy also said "he was in a bed and breakfast. for only one
night and they. got him". By a not unexpected coincidence I had been in a
B&B in Oxford a week previously,. which had been booked from work; other
things lead me to the conclusion that. the company's offices were bugged for
most of the 2 1/2 years that I was there, so "they" would have known a. room
in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll. bet "they" didn't tell the company's
managers their offices were bugged, did. they?).
After. a few minutes of this I went back to where they were sitting and
asked where they were. travelling. The boy named a village in France, and
the girl's giggling suddenly ceased;. presumably it permeated to her brain
cell what. the purpose of the boy's abuse was.
This and other set-up situations are obviously. calculated to provoke a
direct confrontation which would. bring in the police, with the abusers
claiming that they were the ones attacked. Again in 1992, outside. the
house where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked. by someone -
not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in. for good
measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have. known
about.... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of
me about, "I heard he was. attacked". The UK police have a responsibility
for preventing assault. occurring, but they do not seem to take any interest
in meeting. that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is that harassment
does not. come within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and
they will. only become involved once that happens. That is of course quite
the. wrong attitude for them to take, but as I now understand, the police
investigate only the crime they wish to investigate;. if they do not take
your complaints seriously then there is nothing you can. do to make them
take. action.

using a bit of. poetic licence and exaggerating) I did try hard to convince
my friend that it was all true;. and I am able to concur with Mr Levin,
because, of. course, it is.
At the beginning of the piece Levin reveals a. fear of being attacked by the
"irrational" subject of his story, saying "I have. no reason to believe that
he is violent, but he should certainly. be approached with caution". This
goes back to the xenophobic propaganda of "defence". against a "threat"
which was seen at the very beginning. of the harassment. The impression of a
"madman running loose". who needs to be controlled through an agency which
assigns to itself the mantle of the "police" is also one. which had been

clearly. what sort of conclusion they wish to their campaign. They want a

directly, they waste significant resources on methods which have. been
repeatedly shown to be. ineffective for such a purpose.

The article of which part is reproduced below was. penned by Bernard Levin
for the Features section of the. Times on 21 September 1991. To my mind, it
described the situation at the time and. in particular a recent meeting with
a friend, during which I for the first. time admitted to someone other than
my GP that I had been. subjected to a conspiracy of harassment over the
previous year. and a half.

M.I'5-Per secution ` who knows abou t it ?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= who knows about it?. =-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Many people know, both in the establishment and media, and. among the
general public. Despite an absence of its target from the UK for. more than
two years, the. echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud and clear from
across. the water. When it started in 1990, the only people who knew were
those in BBC television who were spying. on my home, and a few radio
broadcasters. There were a. few cases of public harassment, but very little
compared to the situation that. developed a couple of years later.
The list today includes BBC. TV staff (newsreaders such as Martyn Lewis,
Michael Buerk, Nicholas Witchell), people. from radio stations such as
Chris Tarrant of Capital and Radio 1 DJs, people in the print. media, but
also many people in the general public.. All united in a conspiracy which
breaks the laws which the UK does have regarding. harassment, and all
completely uncaring for any semblance of. decency or elementary respect
for individual. rights.
The British police (obviously) do know the nature of the harassment. and in
all probability the identity of those behind it. Some time ago I made. a
complaint to my local police station in London, without. positive result.
The UK police are failing in their duty to see the law. enforced in not
checking. the abuse.

-= how and why did it. start? -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone. must have been there at
the outset to give it a firm push and set the "animals" after me. It. looks
as if I was set up in June 1990, and the timing. indicates someone from
university. was responsible.
>One thing which has been missing from this discussion. is this simple
>prognosis: that maybe he is. right and that, despite his admitted
>mental condition, there really is a campaign against him organised. by
>now-influential ex-students of. his university.
In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman on Radio 1 read out a letter from. someone
who. had known me for a few years, who wrote of the one who "wore out his
welcome with random precision" (from the Pink Floyd song). Freeman went. on
to say to the writer "that's a hell of. a letter you wrote there". The
indication is strongly that people I had parted. from soon before nursed a
grudge against me and were trying to. cause trouble for me.
The suggestion is that Freeman might have shown the letter. to other people,
and things could have snowballed from there. Right from the start. the real
source (security services presumed). didn't announce themselves as the
origin,. but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they were the
originators. Think. about it; if you announce, "we're MI5 and we have a
campaign against this bloke" then people might not go along. with it; but if
you say, "everyone else. is getting at this bloke because he 'deserves' it"
then people will join in with. fewer qualms.
>Why would "they" wish to. assassinate your character?
It's the classic case of hitting a. cripple to prove you're stronger. Why
would the security. services expend hundreds of thousands of pounds and more
than six years. of manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because they
are motivated by people who knew me at university. and feel personal
animosity; because they. knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is in the
nature of bullies to. prey on those known to be weak; and because they can
rely on the complicity of the establishment,. which the security services
manipulate and derive funding from. This. is England's biggest humiliation
today,. and the British security services are intent on preventing their
humiliation becoming reality by. continuing their campaign of attempted
murder. to suppress the truth from becoming public.

Here's what a couple of other people. on Usenet (uk.misc) had to say
regarding the cost of running. such an operation...
PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell reality. What you are talking. about
PO: >would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of. pounds and lots of
PO: >people involved in the planning, execution. and maintenance of it. You
PO: >must have a very high opinion of. yourself to think you are worth it.

PM: >one person under. continuous surveillance for five years? Think about
PM: >all the man/hours. Say they. _just_ allocated a two man team and a
PM: >supervisor.. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men,
PM: >#20,000 a year each. But they'd need to work in shifts. -- so it would
PM: >be. six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more like
PM: >#30,000 to the. employer.)
PM:. >
PM: >So, we're. talking #30,000 x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the
PM: >supervisor.. #220,000. Then you've got the hardware involved. And
PM: >any transcription. that needs doing. You don't think the 'Big Boss'
PM: >would listen to. hours and hours of tapes, do you.
PM:. >
PM: >So, all in all, you. couldn't actually do the job for much less than
PM: >a quarter million a year. Over five years. What are you doing. that makes
PM: >it worth. the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter million
PM:. >on you?
Those are. pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my head
once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to. run this
operation. The. partial answer is, there have been periods when the
intensity has been greater, and times when little has. happened. In fact,
for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very. little happened. Although
I don't think that was for reasons of. money - if they can tap into the
taxpayer they're not going to be short of. resources, are they?
The more complete answer is in the enormity of. what they're doing. Relative
to the cost to British pride of seeing their country. humiliated for the
persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or. five
people to try to bring. things to a close in the manner they would wish? To
the government a million or. two is quite honestly nothing - if they can
convince themselves of the necessity of. what they're doing, resources will
not be the. limiting factor.

M,I.5 Pe rsecution Capital R adio - Chris Tarra nt

-=. Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it". from the start. One of the first
things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said,. "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see.. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so. far away
the precise details. have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the
details,. and although archives if they exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that open. to
re-interpretation.
In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his. Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in the studio, about a person. he didn't identify. He said,
"You. know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for attempted. manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had said. a day or two before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in the studio he. was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant.. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it. could be found there; what he said
was so out of context that he. would be very hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the. site where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there. had been people in a
computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went off. and those people
were. "thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter".
Finally, this isn't confined. to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a pirate radio. station in South London for about
half an hour, there was an audible phone call in. the background, followed
by total silence. for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk to us now,. isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear what I would say in my. room.

PO: >I mean I live there I would know if anything was out of place. If. I was

PO: >have those machines that pick up the transmitted radio waves.. This
PO: >reminds. me of BUGS, that new programme on BBC1 on
That's exactly what. we did. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our. house. They used
scanner devices which go to over 1 GHz and would pick. up any nearby
transmitter in that range,. they also checked the phones and found
nothing... but if the tap. was at the exchange, then they wouldn't find
anything, would. they?
CS: >Doesn't this suggest. to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found?
You can. assume that they've done this sort of thing to other people in more
"serious". cases, where they would know the targets would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So. they will have developed techniques
and devices which. are not readily detectable either by visual inspection or
by electronic means. What those techniques. might be, I couldn't guess.
In this case,. the existence of bugging devices was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in" with what was said. by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to. be
called in, who they. knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility. to the other things I would have to say relating to the
harassment.
I did. all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in. professional help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I made a close visual inspection of. electrical
equipment, plus any. points where audio or video surveillance devices might
have. been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are. quite noticeable and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the best place to put a. small video surveillance
device would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such. as a TV
or video. It would be necessary. to physically break in to a property to fit
such. a device.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
The first incident in June 1990 was when a BBC. newsreader made what seemed
to be a reaction. to something which had happened in my home, and out of
context of what they. were reading. My first reaction was disbelief; nothing
of the sort had ever happened before,. the idea that such a thing could
occur had not crossed my mind, yet. there was no doubt of what had just
taken place. My disbelief eroded as this. recurred time after time. Besides
the. news, offenders included shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and
"entertainment" shows. There seems to be very little. moral understanding
among the people. who make these programmes; they just assume they will
never. be caught, so they carry on without a thought for the illegality or
amorality of what they do. The only time I ever heard a word. raised in
doubt was by Paxman being interviewed by someone. else (I think by Clive
Anderson) back in 1990; referring to the "watching". he said it troubled
him, and. when asked by the host what you could do about it, replied "Well,
you could just switch it. off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the
studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand in the way of. continued
surreptitious. spying from his own or other people's shows, though.
Now you're convinced this. is a troll, aren't you? This story has been the
subject of much debate on the. uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and
some readers believe. it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that
a group of psychology. students are responsible!), others think it
symptomatic of. a derangement of the author, and a few give it credence.
Quite a few people do know. part or all of the story already, so this text
will fill in the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest,. what may persuade
you. of the third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed are
checkable against any archives. of radio and TV programmes that exist; that
the incidents involve. named people (even if those hiding in the shadows
have not made their. identity or affiliations evident), and those people
may be. persuaded to come out with the truth; and that the campaign of
harassment is continuing today both in the. UK and on the American
continent, in a none-too-secret fashion;. by its nature the significant risk
of exposure increases with. time.
On several occasions people said to. my face that harassment from the TV was
happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I spent the evening in. the
local pub with. the company's technical director Ian, and Phil, another
employee. Ian made a few references to me and. said to Phil, as if in an
aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to which. Phil replied, "Yes, I
think. so".
I made a. number of efforts to find the bugs, without success; last year we
employed professional counter-surveillance people to scan for bugs. (see
later) again. without result. In autumn 1990 I disposed of my TV and watched
virtually no television for the next three. years. But harassment from TV
stations has gone. on for over six years and continues to this day. This is
something that many. people obviously know is happening; yet the TV staff
have the morality of paedophiles, that because. they're getting away with it
they feel. no wrong.
Other people who were involved. in the abuse in 1990 were DJs on BBC radio
stations, notably disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see. the
following section). Again,. since they don't have sense in the first place
they can't be expect to have the moral sense not to be part of. criminal
harassment.

MI5 Persecution: BBC Newscasters Lie & Deny They're Watching. Me
Central to. the persecution campaign waged against me for some nine years
now by the Security Service is their use. of the media, and in particular
the broadcast media, to make. clear to me that I am under surveillance and
being watched within my own home, even by. BBC newscasters while they read
the news. This is really an act. of arrogance; MI5 and their tools in the
television and radio are so. sure that they can never be caught, that they
have many times made explicity clear on broadcast programmes that they. are
as capable of seeing me. as I am of seeing the broadcast pictures. Even
when they have known I am. taping the programmes they still carry on this
practice; for examples of TVand radio presenters caught. "in action", see
the Evidence area. of my website.

It started. with a Newscaster, and it continues with Newscasters today
The very first incident in the story started. with a reaction by an ITN
newscaster, Sue Carpenter, in. June of 1990, almost nine years ago now. She
reacted to what she saw in my living room at home as she. read the news. My
mother had brought an apple for me into the room,. whereupon the newsreader
smirked and giggled, apparently. finding this funny. I couldn't believe
what I was seeing. I carried on. watching news and other television
programmes to see if. presenters would show signs of "interactive
watching"; to my surprise, this happened again and. again. Unfortunately, I
did. not have my wits sufficiently about me to videotape these programmes,
and it is now almost impossible to obtain. recordings dating back to 1990.
However, I have been busy recording everything Ive watched the. last couple
of years, and the taping has yielded. some nuggets, which you will find if
you point your Web browser at the "evidence" area of. my website, whose URL
address is given above. Strangely it is not. particularly the BBC who are
"after me" at the moment. (with the exception of occasional fire from
Nicholas Witchell), but that supposed paragon. of virtue and decency Jon
Snow of Channel Four TV News (he actually works for ITN), who. once claimed
hed turned down MI5s offer of a tax-free salary. I will cover. Snows recent
actions. in a future article.
BBCs Hidden. Shame
The first ever Usenet post (internet newsgroup article). on the subject of
the MI5 bugging / BBC watching occurred, as stated in a previous. article,
in early May 1995. It is. reproduced here;
Date: Thu. May 4 18:27:24 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject: BBC's. Hidden Shame
Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's. 1984? The ones which
watched you back? Which you could never get rid. of, only the sound could
be. turned down?
Well the country which brought Orwell into the world. has made his
nightmare follow into the world after him. Since 1990 the. British have
been. waging war against one of their own citizens using surveillance to
invade privacy and a campaign of abuse in the transmitted media. in their
efforts to humiliate their. "victim".
I suppose "BBCs Hidden Shame" is. more of a wish than a fact. It may be
hidden, but the BBC and. other media and security organisations seem to
have no shame. whatever in their anti-social, not to say criminal,
actions. Nor do the. general public, who seem quite happy to parrot the
vilest obscenities without much hesitation. or apparently thought.
Martyn Lewis,. Nicholas Witchell and the rest
Most of the harassment occurred in 1990-92, when. I wasnt making any
recordings, and the BBC wont release copies of. current affairs programmes
from that period..... so although I can remember there were many incidents
in that time, even many specifics, I. cant dig up the actual programmes to
flesh out the. bones.
This year, there has. been at least one incident with Nicholas Witchell as
newsreader, which. I have successfully recorded and digitized,
i.e.. converted into a computer Quicktime movie file. This has not yet
found its way. onto my website (Im a busy man, dontcha know) but you can be
sure I. will let the readership of these articles know when that clip makes
it onto the web. The Witchell clip was. recorded on Saturday 10 April 1999
at 7pm, and. shows Witchell trying to restrain his features from collapsing
into a smirk. First his upper lip quivers for several minutes,. then with
the non-excuse of a non-joke his. entire face twists into a grin. It looks
as if he finds me so funny,. that he allows himself to submerge any
pretence. at professionalism in a sea of MI5-inspired sarcasm and
harassment.
The two BBC. newscasters whose reactions to me I can remember most vividly
over the. years are Martyn Lewis and Nicholas Witchell. I can remember
thinking. years ago that Michael Buerk was also seeing me at home; and if
the other two are watching then there would be no. reason why he wouldnt be
doing the same; but in all honesty. I cannot remember a single clear
instance of his reacting through facial or verbal expression to. me.
I can remember several instances. of Martyn Lewis reacting to what he saw
of me, however. In early 1992 I was watching the BBC news with Lewis. on a
small black-and-white portable TV at my then home in Oxford. I. threw a
term of abuse at Lewis; he flinched, then gave a grin and made a. comment
from which I. understood that he had been on my side, but might have
changed his mind as a result of what Id just. said to him.
And in spring 1991 I. remember Martyn Lewis clearly reacting to what he saw
of me at my then accommodation in Woking, Surrey, by continuing to. stare
at. some fixed point near the camera after the news had finished -
presumably this is where the monitor interactively showing. pictures of my
room. was located.
Why would BBC and other Newscasters Watch and Harass Me,. Watching Them?
This is a very difficult. question, and I dont actually know the answer. It
is a matter of record that the Secret Services are. very much part of the
Establishment. The recent exposure of the "MI6. Agent List" on the
internet, and its coverage in the newspapers, reveals how much MI5 and. MI6
are. recruited from the ranks of the Establishment. Obviously the
relationship is bi-directional; the. Establishment influences MI5/MI6, but
the secret services (well, perhaps not so secret now we know who. works for
MI6!!!) also influence the machinery of power and. information
dissemination i.e. media in this. country. So they must have a lot of
covert leverage. with the BBC and ITN.
Some of this. leverage is obviously through bribery. It is a matter of
record that. MI5 tried some years ago to "buy" Jon Snow of Channel Four
TV.. He turned them down - obviously they must have approached other media
people as well,. and from the lack of other reports of people turning them
down, it may be presumed that some other. journalists will have accepted
the. sugared carrots put before them. Ironically, Jon Snow has been taking
part in the recent "watching" actions. against me - but why he has allowed
himself to. be used by the secret services is something which I do not
know.
Perhaps the Security Service uses blackmail to twist arms. of journalists
into co-operating with them? I have. always thought there was something
slightly. odd about Martyn Lewiss demeanour. At the time of the Ron Davies
"rough trade". scandal it was reported that MI5 had known all about Davies
predilections and the sham of his pretence to be a. happily married
man. Perhaps MI5 have been able to dig. something up from Martyn Lewiss
private life to blackmail him into acting on their. behalf? And if there
wasnt anything. before the "newscaster watching" started then there most
certainly is something. now.... once theyve started watching, the
newscasters. will surely wish their activities to remain covered-up, and
co-operate. with the security service.
"Newscaster Watching". Deliberately Constructed to Mimic Schizophrenia
Presumably this is. the first case in history of television journalists
actually taking. part in acts of real-time, live spying and reacting
against. one of their viewers. What you have to understand, though, is that
I was quite mentally. healthy in June 1990, certainly relative to November
1992, when. after two and a half years of harassment I was finally admitted
to hospital as an out-patient. MI5 decided from the outset that they. would
make me mad; they constructed the media harassment to resemble. what would
be reported by a person with. mental illness; and then they carried on
years of abuse to inflict on me. the condition which they wished to use as
an excuse to cover up their. abuses.
I sold. my portable TV in autumn 1990 and stopped watching television
regularly. I realise now that this may. have been a mistake. What I should
have done was. to watch TV and listen to the radio, but tape-record
everything and make a note of what each. excerpt meant to me. I would then
be in a much stronger position as regards to evidence that. I am now. That
is what I am trying to do now, but unsurprisingly. the TV/radio presenters
have stopped getting at me, now they. know they are being recorded.
When I started publicising my case on internet newsgroups in 1995, I. was
met with the disbelief one might expect. to be accorded to a mentally ill
person. who talks about "newscaster watching" and media persecution. Some
newsgroup participants thought I had. started a "troll", an invention made
to obtain a reaction; one bright. spark even suggested a group of
psychology students were. behind the articles. But most people thought the
articles were symptomatic of derangement - and. that is exactly what MI5
want people to think.. MI5 chose me as a target because I was mildly
mentally ill at the. outset in 1990, although I stress my illness then was
very mild in comparison with November 1992, and because they knew. that
enough abuse would (a) make me much more seriously ill, and (b). once I was
more ill, they would "get away" with. a harassment deliberately constructed
to look like the symptoms of paranoid. schizophrenia.
Martyn. Lewis Denies & Lies, But Wont in Writing
In February 1997 I wrote to. BBC Viewer & Listener Correspondence and asked
them to investigate the claim that their. newscasters had engaged in
"real-time spying" on me. They replied. that they had asked Martyn Lewis
and Michael Buerk whether they. had engaged in such practices, and that
they had. both made verbal denials to VLC, but were refusing to put their
denials. in writing.
To me it looks. as if Lewis and Buerk are happy to lie verbally but not in
writing, because written falsehoods would place them unambiguously in. the
wrong, whereas they can try to talk their way out. of verbal lies if they
are ever caught, or perhaps even deny the verbal lies completely?. If they
lie without shame, then. why would they have any shame about future lies
about. lying?
BBC-VLC also said that the BBC. "would never engage in any form of
surveillance activity" such as that described. Clearly Martyn. Lewis and
the rest have lied. to their own organisations personnel about their
criminal actions. So. much for the "objective", "truthful" BBC, a nest of
shabby. liars.
Summons against the BBC, for Nuisance caused by. Newscaster Spying
In March 1997 I issued a civil summons against the BBC, seeking. injunction
against further "newscaster. spying", and token damages for what the BBC
had done to me until that date.. The purpose of the summons was to try to
"smoke out" the BBC, since obviously I did not have good. evidence which
would be necessary for either a. civil or criminal case to be made against
them. My summons. was worded as follows;
1. The plaintiff is and was at all material times. residing at [home
address]. At some time prior to or during June 1990, persons. of unknown
identity entered. Plaintiff's premises and installed concealed television
equipment. in said premises.
2. A campaign of harassment was launched against the. Plaintiff by the
persons of unknown. identity, which in part took the form of instigating
harassment by BBC TV newscasters. (including specifically Michael Buerk and
Martyn Lewis) as they read news bulletins, by. making direct and personal
comments to. Plaintiff.
3. The campaigns purpose. was to subject Plaintiff to great mental stress
and induce mental breakdown. As a result of. it Plaintiff did indeed suffer
from. severe mental strain in 1990-97.
4. In order to avoid the mental strain being caused to. him the Plaintiff
has been compelled to stop watching BBC. TV news. Defendant therefore
committed the tort of private nuisance, since normal use of home. was
interfered. with.
5. Plaintiff. claims a permanent injunction prohibiting further nuisance,
and. damages for nuisance suffered limited to 5,000.
Naturally, my attempt to smoke-out the BBC and. its lying newscasters
failed. The BBCs litigation department sought to have my. summons struck
out; and they succeeded in doing so, on the grounds. of my action
"disclosing no reasonable cause of action". I was also. prevented from
issuing further civil claims against the. BBC without leave of the
Court. Apparently litigants-in-person frequently / usually. have their
claims struck out with. this wording, regardless of the merit of their
claims.
BBC Suppresses my Claims. of "Watching by Newscasters"
BBCs staff magazine Ariel ran my advert "BBC. Newsreaders Spying on my
home" for one issue in. the Personal category on 8/July/1997 before it was
spotted and axed by editor Robin. Reynolds; please see
webpage;. http://www.pair.com/spook/evidence/plaint/ariel.htm
Clearly the BBC will not allow claims of. its wrongdoing to be made public
in. the media channels it controls.
On several occasions people said to my face that harassment. from the TV
was happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I spent the. evening in
the local pub the. Rose and Crown with the company's technical director
Ian, and Phil, another employee. Ian made a few. references to me and said
to Phil, as if in an. aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to which
Phil replied, "Yes,. I think so".
The reader might think that mere "watching" by newscasters etc might be. a
relatively benign happening. But it. is not; it is part of MI5s framework
of harassment and. lies. On many occasions the reactions of the BBCs
newscasters to me has been in the nature of sarcasm, implicit. contempt and
abuse. This is visible in Witchells news programme mentioned above,. where
he. engages in abuse by laughing at me during his newsreading. It was
particularly visible. in the early period of 1990-92, and as late as Autumn
1993,. when during a Newsnight broadcast Jeremy Paxman interviewed a
football person. about soccer hooliganism, and the interviewee gave vent to
an unsubtle rant about "theyre idiots, theyre just. idiots, keep up the
surveillance". Paxman. started grinning, showing he understood and was
taking part in the abuse being perpetrated on. that programme.
Conclusion
The MI5 Persecution started with harassment. by television newscasters, and
today harassment by. TV and radio presenters still forms a key part of MI5s
activities against me. When this business. started in June 1990 I was in
relatively good. health of mind. Years of persecution by the secret police
and their mouthpieces in the. state-run BBC and other media eroded my
health. until MI5 achieved their aim of seeing me rendered mentally ill in
November 1992. The diagnosis which was. forced on me unfortunately and
ironically meant. that my reports of the harassment are disregarded,
because the mentally ill. are second-class citizens in todays Britain.
Yet TV and radio harassment continues, albeit. in a reduced form, despite
my taping all the. programmes I watch, resulting in my being able to obtain
and demonstrate objectively on the website. instances of media presenters
attacking me. Unfortunately these. recorded instances are quite tenuous; I
might understand them, the presenters understand what it is. theyre doing,
but despite. many thousands of people knowing the truth of the "newscaster
watching", the omerta. continues and they continue to refuse to admit the
truth of the matter. It is a terrible. indictment of British society that
there is not. even one decent person willing to speak out. I look forward
to the day when the truth does finally emerge, and. the mass corruption
which has allowed. the MI5 persecution to take place is finally purged and
the Establishment. criminals caught and appropriately punished.

M'I.5'Persecution , Fou r Yea rs of MI5 Persecuti on Pos ts on Inte rnet New sgroups
Four Years. of "MI5 Persecution" Posts on Internet Newsgroups
For. approximately the first three years of the MI5 persecution, from June
1990 until late 1992, I kept as quiet as possible, in the. hope that by not
reacting, MI5s interest in me would decrease and they. would simply go away
of their. own accord. This is the sort of behaviour some people employ
against bullies; if the bullies arent getting a reaction, then. they might
simply go away and victimize someone. else.
Unfortunately,. this tactic didnt work. The quieter I became, the more
shrill and hysterical the noise from the Security Service operatives.. For
about two years I didnt watch TV news at all. Yet this only. heightened
their obsessed fixation;. they continued to follow me wherever I went, they
continued. to induce harassment at work by managers and fellow workers, and
they continued. to encourage me to commit suicide. They seemed to regard my
refusal to react as a crime which they would have to. "put right" by ever
more extreme forms of. abuse.
Finally, in 1995, I changed tactics radically. Since late. 1994 I had had
accounts with internet. providers in Ontario, Canada. I discovered the
cornucopia of internet newsgroups, on every topic. from consumer
electronics, to politics and legal topics, and I. discovered online
services such as Compuserve and AOL. In May 1995, I made the first. posting
to the conspiracy newsgroup, on the. subject of "BBCs Hidden Shame".
BBC's. Hidden Shame
The internet newsgroup discussion, which has now. reached its fourth
anniversary, started with an article in. alt.conspiracy, which I reproduce
here.
Date: Thu May 4 18:27:24. 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject:. BBC's Hidden Shame
Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The. ones which watched you
back? Which you could. never get rid of, only the sound could be turned down?
Well the country which brought Orwell into the world. has made his nightmare follow into
the world. after him. Since 1990 the British have been waging war against one of their
own citizens using surveillance to. invade privacy and a campaign of abuse in the
transmitted media. in their efforts to humiliate their "victim".
And the most remarkable thing about it is that what they. do is not even illegal - the
UK has no laws to protect the privacy of its citizens, nor does it. proscribe harassment
or abuse except in the. case of racial abuse.
A lot of people in England know this to be going on, yet so far they have. maintained
perfect "omerta"; not a sound, not a. squeak has escaped into the English press, and for
all the covert harassment absolutely nothing has come. out into the public domain.
Have the British gone mad?. I think we should be told
At this. point, I did not name MI5 as my persecutors. I was still unsure
that they were. the ones responsible for the "psychological terrorism". In
followup posts however I did name. them; and the persecutors have never
denied the claim; so I. think my guess is valid. (The Security Service
Tribunal in. 1997 have said "no determination in your favour was made", but
it is a well established fact that. MI5 lies routinely to the Tribunal
which has never found in favour. of a plaintiff, so no conclusions can be
drawn. from this.)
This first post was made to. alt.conspiracy, but further posts were made to
the UK-local newsgroups, in. particular uk.misc but also uk.legal and
uk.politics (which. is now called uk.politics.misc). Some time ago I tried
to. take the battle to the Compuserve forums, UKPOLITICS (which is now
called UKCURRENT - current affairs), but my articles were censored. by the
forum operators. Such censorship is impossible. on the internet newsgroups.
Police. Refuse to Act
I have complained several times to the Metropolitan Police, who. have each
time. refused to help.

This in itself dos not suggest that the police have it. in for you. The old bill
operates on extremely tight. spending limits forced on them by that pillock Michael
Howard, and without evidence, they often. have higher priorities than chasing something
that cannot. go to court.
I doubt that the police are actually. being leant on, but they probably realise that if
they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The. met always stays away from

because they realise that they are below these government agencies. in the general

If I walked into. my local nick and complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would

In. short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise. Just remember that saying
about the enemy of. your enemies.
Most recently, I wrote in. March 1999 to Charing Cross Police Station
CID. They did not acknowledge or reply to my letter. When I. phoned them
up,. the detective Id written to treated me to a sadly not unusual display
of police. bigotry, with an uneducated rant about "your paranoid rubbish".
It would be nice to think that such uneducated bigotry is something. other
than wholly typical of police behaviour, but unfortunately that is. an
illusion that is. rapidly dispelled.
Uncorruptible Jon Snow of Channel Four. News
From. previous articles the reader will know what I think Jon Snow has
recently been watching me while. he reads Channel Four News in the
evening.. Recently I digitized a few moments of one such broadcast, where
his face twists into a smile, without there. being anything in the news
broadcast to cause merriment. Here is a usenet post. from some time ago on
MI5s "bought and paid for" tools in the so-called "free". press.
Peter. Harding (harding@ermine.ox.ac.uk) wrote:

Can't disagree with that. sentiment.
Wasn't it. documented that MI5 sometimes "bought" journalists and broadcasters?

It has been reported several times. The most recent was in Private. Eye,
a. few months back. As I recall they also wanted information from him;
journalists would be a natural choice for. members of the Security Service
and the Secret Intelligence. Service for information sources.

He was most concerned that many others. would have accepted such an
offer. However, we. can probably make an educated guess as to some of
those who. accepted: Nigel West (Rupert Allason, MP) and Chapman Pincher
would come near to the. top of the list.

Corrupt Security Service agents steal millions from. taxpayers
Money is of course a. factor in the grand equation which is the MI5
persecution. It costs. money for the Security Service to "buy" people in
the media etc. But that is only a small part of. their expenditure of
taxpayers resources. Most of the expenditure is directly on. the salaries
if the. agents involved; and in this post I put forward the theory that MI5
are trying to draw out. their involvement for as long as possible, very
cynically, to maximise their income and line. their own pockets.
At each stage they have tried to pretend that I am something. out of the ordinary.
Either I was very stupid ("he's an idiot"). or very clever ("he's like a genius").
Either I was a threat to Western civilization (Levin once referred to me as the. next
Hitler) or I was completely defenceless. ("a soft toy").
Now, it should. be obvious to any person with common-sense that I am not out of the
ordinary in any way.. I have an IQ which is average for the Web, I am racially white
European, and there are plenty of other people. with schizophrenia or epilepsy out there
who haven't. been targeted for MI5 attention, so why me?
I think the answer is that the MI5 agents who. harass me have cynically exploited the
situation by painting me as extraordinary in order. to assure themselves of well-paid
employment. funded by the ordinary British taxpayer. To put it bluntly, they are
stealing millions of pounds from the taxpayer to. feed their own pockets.
This assertion is supported by the observation that it's the same agents who. are doing
the harassment. Six months ago in a. local hospital I was harassed by someone whose face
I had seen (he had stared straight at me. aggressively, at the time I just thought it
was some. nutter but it turns out he was one of "them") aboard a KLM flight a couple of
years ago. It's presumably been the same people most of the time. I've seen. the way
contractors act when they don't want their positions. terminated. Would these agents
really want to. lose their well-paid employment harassing me? Presumably they are
promising their bosses a "breakthrough" (ie my demise) real-soon-now and. have been for
the last seven years, while all the while these MI5 agents. skim millions
off the. taxpayer.
I wouldn't mind a job like. that. Perhaps if I persecute myself a little bit, like
standing in. front of a mirror and shouting mindless obscenities, do you reckon I'd get
a slice of. the caky Service Tribunal. This year Nick Brooks, current
Tribunal Secretary, confirmed to me that he could not think of a. single
case where the Tribunal. had found in favour of a complainant. Here is my
usenet. post from two years ago.
Subject: MI5: "It. wasn't us"

Well that's. a relief then. All that spamming for nothing eh. Gaw blimey, if
they say they're not doing it then. it can't be them, can it?
In a recent letter to Mr Brooks I expressed the opinion. that the Tribunal
were unable to fulfil their responsibilities in. the face of MI5
falsehoods. Nevertheless, I do intend to make another. complaint to the
Tribunal. in the near future, despite the Tribunal appearing to be a
toothless. watchdog.
Discrimination. against a Unit Minority
MI5 have been very clear in. their instructions as to what I should
do. They. have openly shouted at me the word "suicide", and also from the
other abuse. it is clear that they want my existence terminated.
This point is covered in more detail in a. previous article. The following
post describes. the xenophobic nature of MI5s campaign against me. They
have refined their bigotry down to a unit minority,. yet they make use of
the discrimination against the. mentally ill which is a feature of current
British. society.

I don't have florid symptoms. But. I'm in a difficult situation, because those
people who don't. know, aren't going to believe, and those who do, they just go
along with the crowd. It's never a good idea to go against the grain,. and the

people who could say out loud what was happening won't, because then there's. a
risk that they'll be seen as traitors. and ostracised.
Usually this type of. 'hidden abuse' is racial and targetted at a racial
minority within a country. You. keep the minorities out of the good jobs, but
you don't admit discrimination. exists. It happens everywhere, not just in
Britain. The persecution. that is going on now is in reality a refined form of
racism. Instead of "nigger". it's "nutter", and abusing the mentally ill is
still socially acceptable today.. In 50 years it might not be, but today there
isn't any. social or legal sanction against it.
So really they've refined racial harassment down to a minority of. one. The
words may be different, but the. methods are the same.

MI5 Persecution. Update: Friday 30 April, 1999
If You. Intend To Reply, Please Read This
Please.... keep your. response to one page!. Faxes over a page or two will

Somewhere between 0 and. 100%
The last few days there have been no. clear recordable instances of
abuse. However, while travelling on the Underground, while. walking around
near my home and going to friends homes, I am constantly. troubled by
thoughts that those people over there might be about to. get at me; that
the couple sitting in the. opposite seats laughing are in fact laughing at
me; et. cetera, et cetera.
A comment by. a scientist to the BSE inquiry sticks in my mind. He
described the possible scale of the epidemic as. "between 0% and 100%". It
might not be happening, it might not happen at. all, to any discernable
degree.... or it might be total. Without. clear recording, which seems to
have become impossible. the last couple of weeks, there is no way of
knowing whether the harassment. really is continuing, whether we have
entered a temporary hiatus, or whether. perhaps it has perhaps stopped for
now.
But for the time being I think there arent any reasons. to dicontinue these
faxes. I only re-started them six weeks ago. in response to a resumption of
MI5 harassment; and I. think I will need to be more convinced of absence of
persecution. before I discontinue my complaints.
The Newscasters. are still watching
In. the last few weeks there have been at least a couple of fairly overt
instances of "interactive watching". by newscasters. I reported this in a
previous. "MI5 Persecution Update".
These instances are really very rare compared to 1990-91, when. there were
many dozens of such occurrences. Undoubtedly the reduction is due. to my
practice of videotaping everything. I see. Recently I had the opportunity
of showing this years "happenings" (Jon. Snow/Nicholas Witchell) to my
psychiatrist, and he agreed that in. both cases the newscasters were
expressing merriment without visible cause, and that objectively it. might
be possible for my claims to be true -. although of course other people
reported similar. thoughts to him, and this thinking is usually a symptom
of. illness.

MI5 Waste Taxpayer. Millions on Pointless Hate-Campaign
Recently I was talking to an independent observer. about the nature and
purpose. of the perceived campaign of persecution against me. The person I
spoke to, a highly intelligent man, said he was struck. by the utter
pointlessness of the perceived campaign against me.. He also said that, if
my theories were in fact true, many people would have to. be involved, in
the. surveillance itself, and in the technical side of the delivery of
information. from my home to TV studios for example, if the "interactive
watching" were happening. as described. He voiced these thoughts without
any prompting from me; but both I and other observers had arrived. at
pretty much the same. conclusions, some years ago.
I saw a team of four. men at Toronto Airport in 1993
To carry out the surveillance alone, full-time, would. employ four or five
men, or their equivalent in terms of man-hours.. Each man would "work" an
eight-hour shift, so. you would need at least three men doing the
surveillance, plus. a connecting link / manager. An indicator that this
estimate is correct arrived in. 1993, when I was accosted by one of a group
of four men at. Toronto Airport; he said, laughing, "if he tries to run
away well find him". Plainly. these were the men who had been involved in
the intrusive surveillance of me for the preceding. three years.
On other occasions, I have seen the. same man on two or three occasions. On
one such occasion, at Ottawas Civic Hospital in. November 1996; he gave his
name to the doctor as "Alan Holdsworth" or some such; my hearing is. not
very good sometimes and I am not sure of the. surname, although I am sure
"Alan" was his first name. I saw exactly the. same man again in Ottawa, at
the airport, in July 1998. Obviously, other people must be "working". with
this person; he would not be the sole agent. employed in this case.
Usenet readers views on the Cost to MI5 of. Running the Campaign
Here's what a couple of other people. on internet newsgroups / Usenet
(uk.misc) had to say regarding the cost of running. such an operation...
PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell. reality. What you are talking about
PO: >would take loads. of planning, tens of thousands of pounds and lots of
PO: >people involved. in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You
PO: >must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth. it.
and......
PM: >But why? And why you? Do you realize how much it. would cost to keep
PM: >one person under continuous surveillance for five. years? Think about
PM: >all the man/hours. Say they _just_ allocated. a two man team and a
PM: >supervisor. OK., Supervisor's. salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men,
PM: >#20,000 a. year each. But they'd need to work in shifts -- so it would
PM:. >be six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more
like
PM: >#30,000 to. the employer.)
PM:. >
PM: >So, we're talking #30,000. x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the
PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've got. the hardware involved. And
PM: >any. transcription that needs doing. You don't think the 'Big Boss'
PM: >would listen to hours and. hours of tapes, do you.
PM:. >
PM: >So, all in all, you couldn't actually do the job for much less. than
PM:. >a quarter million a year. Over five years. What are you doing that makes
PM: >it worth the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter. million
PM:. >on you?
Those are. pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my head
once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to. run this
operation. At the very least, a quarter million a year - and probably. much
more,. given the intrusive and human-resource-intensive methods
employed. Times nine years. Equals. well over two million pounds - and
probably much,. much more.
Its wasteful for someone with my skills to be. unemployed
The wastefulness. of the MI5 campaign against me is not just that of futile
expenditure on their side. It is also extremely. wasteful for someone with
my talents to be unemployed and on. a disability pension. I am highly
qualified in numerate disciplines, yet. am unable to work, specifically
because of the MI5 hate-campaign against me. It is. a terrible waste of
resources for a supposedly efficient economy. like that of the UK to be
squandering the talents of a skilled and. capable worker.
I made every effort to remain in employment for as. long as I could, but
ultimately I was. defeated by MI5s employment of massive resources
specifically targeted on my workplaces with. the sole aim of seeing me
evicted from those workplaces. You might expect. this sort of behaviour
from the Stasi or. some other secret police force in a communist country
where labour is cheap, and the governments aim on seeing. its citizens
confined; but for a supposedly free. and efficient economy like Britains,
the wastefulness resulting. both directly and indirectly from the Security
Services activities is simply criminal, and should never be. allowed.
The international. dimension means the costs are multiplied many times
overoer had any sense, then they have surely taken leave of them. over the
last. nine years.
Four years of persecution. in Canada
The persecution re-started within. less than five minutes of my arrival in
Canada, as. documented above, and in the "frequently asked
questions" article on the website. The words, "if he tries to. run away
well find him" spoken by one. of the harassers at Toronto Airport are now
imprinted. on my mind.
A year later I emigrated to Canada, intending to find a. job and settle
there, hoping that MI5s. interest in me might dim with time. I did manage
to find work there, but my hopes. of avoiding Security Service interest
were ground. into dust. As detailed above, I saw the same man in November
1996 and July 1998, both times in. Ottawa. Apart from these encounters,
there were numerous incidents between 1994 and 1998 of. harassment, of an
identical nature and in most cases using identical. words to what had
occurred in the UK. It. became quite clear to me that the permanent
surveillance and harassment operation which MI5 had subjected me to. in
England. was being continued.
For a team of four or. five men to be employed overseas must cost a lot
more than if they operate in. their home country. And for MI5 to continue
the operation for a period of over. four years, continuously, must cost
many hundreds of thousands of pounds. This. confirms my belief that the
state is funding the campaign against mehat the. Security Service receives
current annual funding of #160M. Divided by 1850. staff, works out at
#86,000. But. the unit annual cost of each "watcher" must be much higher
than this, especially. given the frequently mobile and overseas nature of
their actions of the last few years. A very. conservative figure might be a
little over #100,000 pa for each of a team of five people, or. half a
million pounds per year. For nine. years, so far. So the most conservative
estimate of the. surveillance element alone is perhaps four or five million
pounds since. 1990.
This guesstimate is of course. theoretical - I am not privy to inside
details of how MI5 split their funding. But to take. some other examples,
the cost of a US. counter-surveillance specialist per day is USD
5,000. Even if the agents permanently assigned to. me are not of this
calibre - even if they. employ specialists when difficult work planting
bugs etc is encountered - their salary and support costs. must still be
very high. The. individual agents are doing well for themselves as they are
well-paid to exercise psychopathic instincts which. in any sane society
would. see them in prison; but the taxpayers who must fund this terribly
wasteful exercise are being "done" out of hundreds of thousands of. pounds
each. year.
It must be emphasised that the above. estimates are highly
conservative. Besides the surveillance operation, it. must carry a high
cost in man-hours to propagate covert. slanders through the population; to
setup and maintain. the "interactive watching" links to TV and radio
stations, which these organisations continue desparately to "lie. and
deny"; and to. induce antipathy in co-workers which would not otherwise
exist.
Why they are wasting Millions of. Pounds on a "Nobody from South London"
As remarked in the. prologue to this article, it is really most
extraordinary that the Security Service spends. a chunk of its budget,
every year for nine years so far, on a. meaningless campaign against a
"nobody from South London". That they. are spending such a large amount of
money has been confirmed. to me on several occasions, usually by oblique
references to "its costing this country millions". The. supposed
"logic" behind the persecution. is that MI5 wish to avoid their harassment
of me, and. the involvement of the UK media, to be made public; yet as the
reader will appreciate. that is a circular argument, "theyre doing it
because they want to keep. it secret and avoid humiliation for themselves
and their country" begs the question, "why. did they start doing it in the
first place?", to which in truth I myself do not. know the answer.
Plainly MI5 with its rich. budget can afford half a million pounds a year
to waste on a "nobody from South London". Some time ago I. was talking to a
British surveillance professional. on Compuserve who told me "this work
costs a lot of money and is usally because the. person I am following has
done something (usually criminal) to warrant all this. money and time being
spent." Yet in this particular case it is plainly not. the "victims
fault" that the harassment is taking place. The hate-campaign. against me
is. completely the creation of the obsessive psychologies of the MI5 agents
who have made themselves. my persecutors; it is obviously a
"personal" campaign for them, and for years. they misuse taxpayer funding
to feed their. insane, unnatural and fixated fantasies.

BBC newscaster Nicholas Witchell cant stop. himself laughing
During 1990-91 there were. very many instances of "interactive
television" where newscasters and other. TV presenters saw on a screen
before them what was happening in my home, and reacted, frequently. by
laughing. at me. During this period I unfortunately did not record these
programmes. For the last year or two, I. have been recording everything I
watch, and there has been a drastic. decrease in such incidents.
However, on occasion, television presenters do. still engage in
"interactive watching" and react to what. they see. This has been evident
with Jon Snow of Channel Four News. recently - a particularly interesting
case, since it has been. established that he cannot be corrupted by money
(it is well-documented. that MI5 offered him a tax-free salary and he
turned them down). I wonder what. device MI5 are using to encourage him to
do the "interactive. watching"?
On. Saturday 10 April 1999 at 7pm, Nicholas Witchell on BBC2 News reacted
when. he saw that I was watching the programme, and I have his reactions
stored safely on videotape. I have watched this tape several times. and I
am entirely. confident that my evaluation of his reactions is correct. For
several minutes his upper lip quivered in mirth as he attempted. to keep a
straight face. Then finally his self-control evaporated through. the excuse
of a weak joke and. his face collapsed into a grin.
The strange thing is that I dont know why he was laughing at. me, what I
had done recently. to "deserve" to be laughed at. The MI5 persecutors
usually manage to invent some justification as to why. people should laugh
at and/or abuse me ("hes an X",. "it was so funny" etc), so Mr Witchell
could have been laughing. for any number of reasons. Perhaps he found the
views. I have been expressing in these articles amusing? I suppose if youre
paid enough money and ordered to. laugh then even the most innocuous thing
becomes. funny.
Jon Snow of Channel. Four News cant stop himself smirking, either.
On. 12 February 1999 I was watching Channel Four News presented by Jon
Snow. As usual, I was recording the programme,. so that if anything out of
the ordinary happened, Id be able to. go back and watch it again.
Now, Jon Snow, by. his own claim, is uncorruptible. He says he turned down
an. offer of a substantial tax-free salary from MI5 - they wanted to make
him their mouthpiece, and he told them where to get. off.
So you will. be most surprised to learn that Jon Snow "interactively
watched" me that evening, and on. many other evenings. Approximately
fifteen. minutes into the programme, he announced that the US President
would be making a live appearance at about. 7.30pm; I looked at the clock
on the mantelpiece; and Snow saw me looking at the clock,. and visibly
tried to suppress a. smirk.
Uncorruptible, are you, Mister Snow? If. not money, then why are you
watching me, Mister Snow? Are they forcing you to watch me? Cant. you turn
the monitor off,. Mister Snow?

refuses. to help.
Comparing the MI5 Persecution with. German "Final Solution"
It. might seem offensive to compare the mass murder of millions of
civilians in wartime with the peacetime persecution of. merely one
person. Yet the comparison. has been coursing through my mind for several
years now, because the. brutality of German intent to "sub-humans" is very
much. comparable to the brutality of British intent to someone they
vituperate and term "not up to British standards". The. methods may differ,
but the persecutors. mindset is the same.
The Germans first targeted the mentally. disabled, too
During. WW2 millions of ethnic Russians, Poles, Jews, mentally ill, gypsies
and other minorities were rounded up and murdered. in purpose-built camps
by. the German regime, in the name of "racial superiority". Fifty years on,
the British. Secret Police, MI5, instituted a campaign of mass
hysteria;. but in their cowardice, limited their activities to one single
victim.
It is instructive to. note that the early German "cleansing" effort was
directed primarily not at Jews, but at the mentally ill. The. Nazis set up
the T4 project. in the thirties to "cleanse" away 70,000 mentally disabled
people, including schizophrenics and epileptics.. After WW2 the Jews with
their media influence used the reaction from the. holocaust to roll back
anti-semitism in. the Western countries; however, the mentally ill are
today still a persecuted group in the modern Western world. as they were
under the Nazis. (the current Jewish home secretary in the UK intends to
bring in laws for incarceration without any criminal charge for. some
mentally ill people - he protects his own minority,. but does nothing for
the other minorities in todays society), and this. continuing bias forms a
central cause for the current acts of persecution in. the UK.
Widespread knowledge of what is happening. to the "un-British" minority
In both the German persecution. of the thirties and early forties, and the
current British persecution, many, many people. are well aware of whats
happening. There is widespread complicity through inaction. of
populace; and in a substantial. proportion of the mainstread population,
the persecution had/has widespread enthusiastic. support; yet in both the
German case in. the 1940s and the British today, the existence of
persecution is a mass secret which must be. never admitted out loud. In the
recent Lawrence case this. "secret bigotry" has been termed
"institutionalised racism", and that is a very good. word for what the
British are doing today The persecutory attitudes. and omerta regarding
them are so. deeply ingrained in the national psyche that they define the
national. mood
During WW2 many Germans knew minorities. were disappearing, and through
inaction quietly condoned their government's mass murder. of
"un-German" minorities and. inferior "foreigners"; and in the 1990s,
similarly, many. English people know what the MI5 British Secret Police
have been doing, and not only condone it, but. actively take part, because
of xenophobia against the "un-British" unit minority that. is the target of
"British" actions. This attitude by the British persecutors has. been made
explicit through the. words "he's not up to British standards"; the British
seem to have found their very own "untermenschen". to victimise.
Why. these obsessive "holy wars" happen
This. type of aggression occurs when the majority is threatened or
humiliated in some way,. economically, militarily or culturally. In pre-WW2
Germany. the threat was primarily economic and military, following
Germany's humiliating defeat in the first world war. and the reparations it
was forced to pay. In modern Britain,. one might guess that the majority
English who are behind the persecution feel pressured by the. swiftly
diminishing status of. Britain in the world, and the rapidly increasing
coloured colonisation of their country, which in time will. see the ethnic
English a minority in their own land,. and their more antisocial elements,
unable to reply to. the obvious threat, instead project their aggression
onto. another, weaker, unit minority
In both cases there is a whiff of "holy war" or irrational. obsession with
the persecution. Certainly the German behaviour fifty years. ago bordered
on the not-quite-sane, and. the current British behaviour towards their
chosen victim is strongly. tinged with a leave-taking of reason. And the
choices open to the victims are the same, since MI5. will never allow me to
escape them, "if he tries to run. away we'll find him", just like the
commandant of Auschwitz telling the new arrivals, "the only escape. is
through. the chimney".
The Victim Will Destroy Us if We Dont. Destroy Him First
The persecutors propaganda is the same.. Fifty years ago the Germans said,
"if we don't do it to the Jews then the. Jews will do it to us"; and MI5's
propaganda in the early nineties concentrated on their victim. as a
"monster". aesome "untermenschen" minority.
"We. are decent fellows" say the Brutal Persecutors
During the course of researching this article I. read part of the very
interesting book, "Hitler - A Study in Tyranny", by Alan Bullock.. This
volume contains a quote. from Himmler on the "Final Solution";
"Most of you know what it means when a. hundred corpses are lying side by
side, or. five hundred or one thousand. To have stuck it out, and at the
same time. .... to have remained decent fellows, that is what has made us
hard. This is a page of glory in. our history which has never been written
and. is never to be written."
In the MI5 persecution, too, there is a. thread of deliberate brutality to
the sick and vulnerable, while. the persecutors maintain that "we are
decent. fellows". There is almost a conscious schizophrenia in the
self-attitudes of the Security Service. operatives and those in the public
who they. employ against me, which reflects the contradiction evident in
the German attitude above.. On the one hand, they stoop to the lowest and
most base behaviour; yet at the. same time, the MI5 operatives tell
themselves that since. they are civilised British people, then surely they
must by definition be "decent fellows". Any indecency. is made the fault of
the. victim; "hes making us persecute him, so we need feel no guilt".
Yet the conduct is atypical of the way these peoples. see their normal
modes of behaviour. Befslaughter was not typical of normal. German
behaviour up to that point. Similarly, the current MI5. abuse goes against
the. grain of British self-image as being "reserved" and "decent", since
they are using terms of abuse which are common among. blacks and other
supposedly less-developed races, but not among. the English.
Conclusion
The ultimate aim of. both persecutions is the humiliation and physical
extinction of the persecuted group.. The Germans did this in a very direct
way; the British Secret. Police MI5 are acting indirectly and relying on
self-extinction. of their target, because in peacetime and in the current
somewhat false climate. of "political correctness" more direct methods are
impossible. If MI5 undertook more direct. action the mass "omerta" would be
broken.
I have. written this article with sincerity to show how a historically
recent. persecution in another country parallels what is being done in this
country today. In both cases, the. evil-doers are of their countries
establishments, and rely on widespread. tacit support to maintain the
persecution and omerta around. it. While the holocaust was undoubtedly the
greater evil, it is important to be aware of. the fact that had the Germans
not been defeated fifty. years ago, their plans would have gone through to
total completion.. In Britain today no force threatens the "permanent
government" of which the Security Service. forms a part; and it looks very
unlikely that the. wrongs perpetrated by the MI5 secret police will ever be
revealed to. public view, and the British secret state brought to justice
for. its evil actions.

The Problems of Registry Cleaners
Hello:
As was discussed in a recent thread here, registry cleaners can do more harm
than good.
There are 2 recent articles on this topic in the Usenet group
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.general" , under the thread subjects of "Which
Registry Cleaner" and "reg cleaners". Both reflected the recent postings in
this newsgroup to avoid registry cleaners altogether. One post referenced an
interesting forum thread at: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 , which
discussed the many problems that such utilities can cause.
FYI.
Cheers,

Slow XP Computer
Most of us have a slow XP computer. We bought it recently, and have
done nothing in the way of keeping it cleaned. We have bigger hard
drives, so we store more stuff. And the more stuff we store, the
larger the chance is we are getting bogged down. And since we are
always deleting files, creating new files, installing software, and
uninstalling software, we are going to have some issues where the
computer gets overloaded with the data on it, and the result is a slow
XP computer.
Good news, though! There is a simple fix. But before I tell you about
it, let me go over some of the typical solutions you may hear.
Update the Windows system: You should do this. But this does not cause
the slowness. It just helps protect you from security issues.
You have a virus: OK, this could be the cause. But most likely it is
not. You should have an antivirus software installed already. If not,
go do it. Viruses could get into the computer, and start launching
programs and attacks from within your computer, which in turn would
slow it down. But this would be very rare. This will not cause the
slow XP computer....

Routers
I'm thinking of changing from wired to wireless and would like some
clarification from the experts in the NG. Currently I have a Desktop
connected by wire in an Office and a laptop connected by wire in another
room. A new laptop is replacing the old laptop but because it has 802.11
b,g,n, I'm thinking of going wireless and when I say that I mean the Desktop
would probably remained "wired" but the laptop would go wireless.
From what I understand I should purchase an "N' Router but these vary
significantly in price. So I'm looking for input in terms of what I should
be considering. Specifically, we are connected via cable with download
speeds up to 8 Mbps. The "G" series Routers vary with speeds up to 54 Mbps
while the "N" series Routers vary with speeds up to 300 Mbps.
If my connection only allows up to 8 Mbps, why is any of the above router
speeds important? As usual I would appreciate any feedback that would
enlighten me on this subject.

WU v4 for WinMe
For those who need to know - and are still interested - the Windows Updates
for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU site, in spite of
being out of Support by some 18 months.
Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) and all 10+ Critical Updates/Service
Packs and 45+ WinMe updates (inc. some 34 language fixes) are there. Using
broadband, it wasn't very much slower than using the MS Security CD (2004)
and all (seemingly) installed in their correct sequence.
Let's hope that MS keep them available for a few more years yet. It would be
a shame to pull them for the sake of a few hundred MB or so of web space.
Have noticed also that the KB articles for WinMe have recently been pruned
somewhat, but at least support is still there. Thanks MS - please don't
abandon us altogether.
