On the third day, he rose from the dead....

My my, all the little things you have to attend to when you move to a new hard drive, even on the same freakin computer.

Office 2000? Eleven years old and still workin':)  Took three days to get my Outlook back in one place, but it's there.

Printer drivers are all restored. Even the .pdf generator I almost completely forgot about, which is kinda necessary, seeing how I have to file every federal court document in .pdf these days.

Semagic is back.  Hey, that would've made a good motto for the Mets, 30 or so years ago;) And look! I seem to have acquired a spellcheck. Now how do I turn it off?

My disks, they burn again. At the cost of having an entire virtual drive now called "Nero Scout." I shall have to try to send that off to Clippyland later.

Dayum, there are so many crappy little diddlybits you have to attend to, just to get back to where you feckin'were. Like manually moving Windows .dll files from one place to another to get Outlook to import its own archived backup.  And having to download the non-Vista supported driver that runs the help files that half of my proggies are still written in. But now? Been there, done that.

I'm still leaving iTunes for later. After three days of Bill Gates messing with my head, I don't need a blow Jobs on the other end.  (I tried the cheap trick of just trying to make it run from the saved location, but it was having none of that. Which means I'm gonna get that version 10.1.1.2.6.5½ whether I want it or not.)

I promise, my next entry will not be about this crap. At least not mostly.
