speaker. Which we then found out didn't work. We ended up using our
monitor as the PA speaker, which was not nice. I'm not looking forward to
having to replace the PA speakers. Equipment troubles always put me in a
sour mood.
While unpacking the van, I slipped on ice in my driveway and fell flat on
my back. I have a few bruises and every part of me aches, but otherwise I
appear okay.
Saturday night my computer starts acting up and won't load. I have no
restore disk, and Win2000 won't recover itself. After much struggling, I
re-install Windows. I tried to use windows update, but it breaks while
installing the latest service pack. The computer won't boot again. This
time I'm able to recover the OS. I again manually downloading the updater
for service pack 4. It crashes and Windows no longer boots (Again).
I restore the OS again I decide its time to upgrade to XP (I have the MS
Action Pack sitting in a box next to my desk, why not use the
software?). The upgrade seems to have went pretty well. My data drive
seems unharmed. The applications are still here, but nothing will load, I
assume because the registry was wiped out during the OS re-install.
I'm in the process of reinstalling all the apps. It appears that K9 (my
spam catcher) lost all my "settings" so I'm stuck to marking emails again
(which is a pain until it "learns"). Navigator won't load for reasons I
don't understand yet. I click the link and see an "pointer hourglass" for
a second and then nothing. I really loved tabbed browsing, so I'll miss
it.
I also discovered that I lost my Navigator bookmark file somewhere along
the line of installing / uninstalling. That is my major upset of the moment.
On the bright side, when I fell on the ice, I did not crack my head open
( between my car and the house there is barely enough room to stand
sideways; its amazing I didn't hit either the car or house on the way
down). Also XP seems to have these cool Internet games. I'm enjoying
playing Reversi (AKA Othello) and Checkers.
