Whew! I've made it back to DU
What you're seeing here is a culmination of an entire day's work.

My computer died yesterday at about 8:00 p.m. and I'm composing this message from a brand new PC, constucted from individual pieces that I bought this morning. A whole day of building, installing, configuring, testing and exploring.

My dialup connection sucks, I'm using IE :puke: and I've got some major work ahead of me to restore my preferences and reclaim my precious applications from the old machine.

But I'm on.

Thank FSM.

2. Thank you
Good to be back. man, this connection sucks.

A blazingly fast computer, a 2 minute wait for a page refresh.

I'll be back to normal tomorrow.

3. Welcome to MY world.
I charge sixty bucks an hour to do that for people. I've done it so many times I can practically do it in my sleep.

4. Whoa, I could use that kind of bread
It really wasn't that hard, just time consuming.

But I guess any job can get to you if you do it over and over and over....

5. Your handle sounds familiar. So MY last weekend the phone line went out, then
(meaning no internet), but I could still play spider solitaire, then the COMPUTER went out, but I could still do the treadmill, then the treadmill went out. So my entire world was for shit.

However, here we are (for now).
