That was the first thing I did (great minds think alike... although, im unsure
how Im involved....) I wasnt too comfortable with that metheod as its kind of
mucky, and with all the wierd unknow problems I saw, I figured it would be

I dont exactly sit there and watch the laptop... I get it going, do something

me even less sane!
