37 I have found that it is usually "Error 1". That's what I put in the
38 Find thingy to look for IF it is not real close by. I generally go up a
39 few lines and then start my copy and paste.

41 I can't count how many times I have searched for a problem and run into
42 paste bin links that no longer work. It is really aggravating when you
43 think you found something and it turns out it has disappeared.
