I posted a while ago about the WD My Book Essential external HD I got and the crappy Smartware and undeletable virtual CD. I've made 12 posts there and in every one I make a crack about what crap those 2 items are. Tonight I noticed I got promoted from occasional poster to adviser. Makes you wonder what kind of buffoons they have running the company.

Thanks that doesn't remove it really it just hides it. I've got it working on my own. I just thought it was comical getting promoted to adviser.
