that sounds like it truly sucked :)

>  Friday night was a gig.  It was a small place so we only brought one PA

>  While unpacking the van, I slipped on ice in my driveway and fell flat on

>  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

>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

>  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.

>  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
