A moment I've been dreading... sort of...

Okay, it's finally arrived in the mail - my very own copy of Windows Xp, as the disks that should've come with the lappy didn't. Yes, that's right; I have purchased it so that I can wipe my drive and, thus, do away with all the silly lagging stuff that's been evading my efforts to eliminate thus far.

Reformatting and reinstalling may... take a while. If you don't hear from me for more than a week, then you know I've torn out all my hair in frustration and I'm currently shopping for a gently used system to replace the lappy.

Wish me luck!
