Wish me luck
I'm typing this from my laptop. This evening - it being Saturday night and me having no life worth speaking of - I'm going to reinstall Windows XP on my main, desktop computer.

Yesterday, after some updates around noon, the thing started acting slower than Sarah Palin trying to explain science. That evening, I got the BSOD not once, nor twice, but six fucking times.

I tried the silly "restore point" thing, but that only muddled things up worse.

So now, after having backed up gigabytes of music and photos as well as pretty much everything else that wouldn't survive Armageddon, I'm about to reformat the desktop's hard drive.

If you don't hear from me, it's because my computer rebelled and destroyed me before I could do the same to it.

(And yes, next time (should I survive), I'll get a Mac. That doesn't help me NOW.)
