system queued windows error reporting

Today I ran out of disk space on my drive C: which caused Vista to constantly swap memory and turn veeeeeery slowly. I brought up the Disk Cleanup wizard and found out that the System queued Windows Error Reporting occupied more than 2.5+ GB:

So it seems fair to say that the built-in error reporting feature caused an "error". Check your Disk Cleanup wizard regularly to avoid unnecessary usage of valued HDD space by queued error messages sitting there and waiting to be sent to Redmond.

Don’ t you think the idea is neat, having a coffee mug that can tell you everything you want in the early morning? Such as the weather, time, traffic, stocks etc, without needing you to sit in front of your computer screen while having your breakfast. That is the concept of a Yuno coffee mug PC. As today’ s computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it shouldn’ t be too far from now to produce an intelligent coffee mug that comes equipped with touch- screen technology that would tell what have been mentioned.

So, please accept my apologies!!

I finally got around to fixing the errors that were in this blog caused by using MS Word as my editor, (I finally got around to looking at my blog and seeing them). It seems, and I should have known this, that the curly double close quote isn\'t compatible in here, it leaves a box, and gives validators a headache and ruins my RSS.

Managed to get mine up to 133 GB.... Took a little while to track down this space hog!

Please o' please MS make the next version better or I am going to a Mac... actually, whatever, I am going to a Mac in a year or so anyways.

Thanks for the tip.
