here goes nuthin’
so i made the great leap and did a clean reinstall on my pc. apparently the fact that i’ve not yet done that in the 3 years i’ve had my laptop is some sort of big computing faux pas. eh, whaddo i know? < *shrug*>
so after backing everything up thrice, j talked me through the big wipe, and talked me down off the ledge when my registration wouldn’t go through initially. it seems almost a sin to put windoze back on it, but i’m prolly not quite savvy enough to deal with using only linux. i will, however, be using open source software wherever possible. i am also really keen to keep as much crap as possible off my hard drive. it’s like a new car – you don’t want to mess it up.
oh, and more than a gig of music is prolly too much for little ol’ me.
