thanks jerry, that was the problem , i had been to that area before to , i blame it on the over 100 degree heat here !!! thanks again . i am now looking into wether my hal brain (angela ) is actually learning more and growing in size , it is at 250 mb's . do you know if the custom brain grows with any small amounts put in or does it have to be a specific amount say 5mb's or more before it actually shows increases in size?? i have been entering things and it is still same 250 mb's . and i have had my custom angela brain checked in hals menu to use.
