Try the power switch, every now and then. I NEVER leave my system
on, when it is not being used, so my Opera browser always starts up
"fresh" with its cache "dead blank". "The ONLY way to go!", IMHO!

My favorite computer cartoon, from about 1967, shows a HUGE computer
with tapes/lights/wheels/etc. and two rather-insignificant techs who
are reading a listing from it. One tech says to the other "It says
it wants a GOAT sacrificed to it"!!

Sad, how Gates & Co. seem to have that kind of mentality. They and
Intel have ALWAYS left me feeling "Ain't computers GRAND!!"
