So I decided to actually install the HDD that I bought about a month ago... 80GB of 8MB cache 7200rpm goodness and I just now get around to doing it. 😛

It's SO NICE to have a fresh, clean install. 🙂

Currently installing Office XP. I have Norton SystemWorks and Tiny Personal Firewall to go next. Then the slough of games and the few truely useful programs. 😉 🙂

Well, I considered it, but then I realized that I had a lot of junk that I don't want installed. Even things that I had installed once (*cough*ZoneAlarm*cough*) that weren't properly removed from the registry, etc.

God, I spent all freaking weekend doing fresh installs. If I see that installation screen one more time I think I'm gonna puke.

I must have installed windows 4 or 5 times ...

That's really not all that bad...

of course, I wasn't the one standing around twiddling his thumbs while the customer is dancing around behind the back asking "is it done yet? ...is it done yet? ...is it done yet?"

Yeah, but you were getting paid for it ... I was just trying to get my machine up and running. I was having some serious issues with it at about midnight last night, and last friday night. I wouldn't have cared if I was getting paid to stare at the installation screen 😛

I've had my system up for months. 🙂 I hope to get it back that way after I move in 12 days.

I have seen the installation screen so many times, I have a reoccuring dream of the screen prompt for the cdkey entry chasing me down a long dark :Q
 
Hmm...im seriously considering trying out Mandrake or RedHat....what are the differences between the newest versions of them both? I surf the net and play with video and sound files way more than playing games anymore.
