Today I had a message from my Win 7 computer

It started with

Recovery Backup Wizard:

Your computer uses a hard-drive based recovery process. You can back up
your recovery process now to USB stick or DVD, in case you need to
reinstall Windows in the future. Your options may differ based on your
computer.

Recovery Backup Now.

Create your Recovery Backup Now.
on DVD or USB stick.

I clicked on that and a window opened with header:
Control Panel > System and Security >Backup and Restore.

Next was: Backup or restore your files.
Backup: Windows backup has not been set up.

I clicked on the link 'Set up backup.'

Next a window popped open with : The backup application could not start
due to an internal error: Server execution failed (0x80080005)

What a Win 7!!!!!!, only six months old and ready for the scrap heap :-)

TIA

Do you trade in your car when the ash tray is full?

No, but I'd not be pleased if the oil light came on after 6 months, and
I then found the sump drain plug or oil filler cap was welded shut.

Not particularly apposite, but still, if you found one of those things
to be true, would you sell or junk the car, or would you have it
repaired? Under warranty, of course.

But hey, on this side of the pond at least, new cars seem to have lacked
ashtrays in recent years, so my question wasn't altogether apposite
either :-)

For the record, I've not had a full ash tray for over 20 years.

Do cars still come with ashtrays? The new Toyota Corolla I bought last
December didn't have one.

Hi Tia,

That was fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe that explains why I so frequently see smokers toss their butts
out the window. When the ashtray is no longer inside the car, the
whole area outside the car becomes the ashtray.
