    Default I'm semi back on the internet and my network

    Well, I ended up not really getting what I wanted. I swear computer salesmen are worse than used car salesmen.

    But I'm copying many gigs across my network now and it appears that only some of my files are corrupt from the screwed up hard drive and nothing super-vital has come up corrupt. Yet. Knock on wood.

    Should be able to get back to biz as usual by tomorrow.

    Windows XP takes some getting used to.

    And you rock for helping me while I was going out of my mind dealing with those evil bait and switchers and then still needing to get set up.

    XP's not too bad actually...much more stable than ME and 98SE...unless you where using 2000...then you'll just notice small variations and a few helpful additions.

    I'm just happy it dosen't crash anytime I try to actually do something.

    Ever find out what caused your last computer to die?

    I was using 98, so it is a little odd for me just now.

    Still copying things across the network, but only lost some data so far. Apparently copying that many gigs takes a while. I dozed off, but woke up when I heard a horrible grinding noise. Was kind of listening for it. Turned out to be nearby construction though. lol

    My computer hard drives are like Spinal Tap drummers. Sometimes they just spontaneously combust.

    Yea. XP is all weird.. I've been usuing it since it came out and I'm still not sure if I like it or not.

    I'm sooooooo glad to hear that only some of your "not so important" files were corrupted! I hope your new computer rocks and all of that!
