I can haz PC

[pbray]

Desktop is back home, cleaned, scrubbed, disinfected. New antivirus, antispyware and firewall software. All of my personal files seem to be on here, which is much goodness, but somehow in the process of fixing Windows XP I got a special bonus--an upgrade to Internet Explorer Version 7. Sigh.

And, of course, it took me over half an hour to get everything recabled up correctly. Nothing like working in tight spaces and trying to plug in cords blindly because things don't quite stretch far enough.

Ah well. All things considered, life is good.

Well I didn't have use of my personal PC for a week. I spent about 25-30 hours trying to fix the problem myself before I gave up on Friday morning and handed it over to the professionals. Luckily I have the dayjob laptop so was not wholly internet deprived.

By the way, the time estimate isn't because my computer skils are outdated (which they are, for Windows stuff), but mostly because full disk scans and virus cleaning programs generally take an hour or two to run, so multiple runs are giant time sinks.

OMG yes, time sink hell! *Snore*
