Clean, Warm and Safe
My machine has been randomly blue-screening recently, plus it has a nasty virus/trojan/worm/whatever that I can't seem to shake. I bought a couple of new hard drives, thinking it might be because one of the drives is corrupt. I got those installed, formatted and up and running, so I decided to take the plunge last night and reinstall Windows XP.
I have to say, it was a pleasant experience. I reformatted one of my drives, popped in the Dell Reinstall disc and had Windows up and running inside an hour, including Avast virus and Firefox, plus my music player pieces.
All I can say is, ahhhhh. I feel like I've finally had a hot shower after weeks in the wilderness: clean, warm and safe.
Now I gotta install SP2 and other updates.
Stupid viruses.

Some comments:
I never knew you had turned to the dark side.
I'm sending you my emergency Mac SE, complete with System 6, to remind you of the days of yore.
I'm thinking I may have to tear down like that. Or it may be that I just need more memory. I have only 256 MB. ONLY, jeez what's happened to efficient programming. I was fine using Microsoft Outlook, IE and Visual studio, but Thunderbird, Firefox, and SharpDevelop (freebie Vis studio) are memory PIGS.
