It's A Gi-raffe, It's A Gi-raffe. . .

Through the miracle of modern serendipity, I was able to re-install "Winders" yesterday, fully and completely using my off-the-shelf purchased copy of XP Service Pack 2. How'd I do it you ask? Beats the hell outta me, but I'm not complaining.

SHE LIVES!!

I trimmed some of the fat from the install and now have a lean and mean computing machine. I've also taken to liberty of downloading Sun Micro's Open Office suite, which is an open source MS Office comparable. I'll let you guys know how it works as I use it a bit.

Ahhh, the luxury of a happy-go-lucky computer, contently whirring along, munching ones and zeroes effortlessly in seemingly endless fashion. Thanks be to silicon!

Ok, I've left many an open hole around this place, so I guess I better get to work! I suspect that FedEx will be arriving soon with my matched and signature verified recovery CD with Service Pack 2 slipstreamed inside. I think I'll carry it home this weekend, blast a hole in the package with the .357 magnum and send it back to HP in Maharashtra. Along with a kind note declaring, "¡Chupa la verga, carepichas!"

I think it's time for some music. . .

. . .oh, Bodhisattva, won't you take me by the hand?
