Yeah clean installs are such a pain that I have a IBM T42 laptop that I got
in 2005 that REALLY needs a clean install...since it's running the same copy
of WinXP as when I got it! At this point, I have to restart it daily and
Outlooks hangs/crashes and all sorts of other funny stuff, and it's getting
very old, very fast! :P
But as soon as I get that SSD, I'll install Win7 on it, and move to by
semi-new 2 yr old T61p and hopefully things will be better! :P

Clean installs are such a pain and the system is never the same but
backups never work for me and that's just the way it goes sometimes. If
I get 6-8 months use I'm happy. Happy Holidays Joe!
