Or perhaps just making a small flesh wound in time. Went to have my nails done, the place is almost empty which is strange for this time on a Sunday except it's Hallmark Card Day #2. But nobody on the staff was free, so they told me to come back in 20 minutes. So I'm in the starbucks down the way for a few.

Was not able to get the 'puter to boot from the RAID drive, re-installing Windows on it said it needed to format everything, so no thanks. The original registry is just plain gone. Looks like maybe 10% of my photos survived, but none of my software. Since it's going to require re-installing everything anyway, I may as well put Vista on there. So before I left for the nails place I started defrag on the RAID array. It needs it. Hope it doesn't take more than all day.

Nails ho!

"Nails ho" sounds like more of a conquest than a quest. If all of your skills and abilities cannot put your humpty dumpty computer together again, I guess I can part with my Pentium 100 computer you helped me purchase and assemble in 1999. I fired the thing up recently and now have it available for child abuse.

Thanks, but by the time this exercise is over I will have two PCs, two extra motherboards, 2GB extra RAM, and a copy of Windows XP home edition which I'm not using. eBay time, I think. Not to mention the Mac G3 wit OSX and wireless network adapter which is back in the closet, now that I'm not being offered any job opportunitites at Apple.
