Solve : common pc maintenance?

Answer»

I use to ask my mom if she keeps her browser cleaned out by DELETING temporary files and cookies...Her response was always, "Yah I always go in and delete my "cookies" and my "cake".     At first I never thought MUCH of it.  It was before I really started to learn about the Windows Operating System.

Later when she used the word "cake", I realized she really meant cache.  She was obviously pronouncing it incorrectly and I laughed pretty GOOD and brought it to her attention the last time she said it. 

When I first saw the word "cache" I thought it was pronounced as "cak"

Guilty ... from Quebec roots....Irish roots.Your pronunciations are probably more correct, anyway.Officially its prounounced KASH

K as in sky

I know. I was referring to how I USED to pronounce it.

It's originally from the french word for "HIDING place". I know but nobody had yet said How to pronounce it.  Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 26, 2009, 10:43:31 AM

lol              how funnyI don't know why we even call it 'cache' -- say that to most computer users, and they have no idea what you mean.  Did you clear your browser cache?   

At least if you talk about cookies and temporary internet files, you have a chance they'll understand.cache --- isn't that where the browser hides all those things.... ?In windows xp, browser cookies are actually stored in C:\documents and settings\user\cookies             


In Vista the cookies folder is a little bit more difficult to get to, you have to break the permissions on the folder if you want to access it...I pronounce it "cabbage"...a vegetable? How ODD LOL  ok, on my mark, everyone clear your browser cabbage! 

ready, one, two, three...................Heh great story.
