Power struggle

A couple of days ago my PC’s power supply suddenly got tired of living, taking with it a harddrive and making the cable modem a bit shaky in the process. Replacements have been purchased, installed and the rebuilding has commenced. No great amount of data loss (I’m a little more careful with backups after the last time I was in this position); just the fun of installing every patch Microsoft has released in the past couple of years. For XP, that’s a lot.

Now, a bit of catching up to do …

Windows Mantra: Reboot, Reformat, Reinstall.

Fixes almost everything.
Just be glad that you don’t have to support a few hundred windows machines for a living…

Blaine, I did that for a while - much prefer the unix support work though (pays much better).
