All very interesting, Ray - especially the configuration of the computer that the "self-made millionaire" was using at the time (a few months ago) that he was asking advice about:- - Whether he should use WD40 rather than buy a new CPU fan! - Whether WD40 would keep his case fan going, rather than replace it! - Preferred, instead of that huge outlay, to leave the side off his computer, and point a domestic fan at the innards! - and I don't believe that you ever had Linux running on it. In fact, I don't believe you have ever installed Linux on anything. I told you what the problem is when you tried - you are too dense.
