Install/restart install/restart install/restart
It's been _interesting_ getting Jenny's computer back up. She's running Win2000 which is good (better than XP imho) and I've got all the data (except for her "sent items") back up. The screen is ghosting, but it's a screen issue, not a driver issue (plugged it into my iBook and it still looked bad). Installed Firefox and wiped as much of IE as I could. Installed Acrobat Reader. Got her email back up and running. Did the Norton AV Liveupdate - it needed to reboot. Installed an HP printer - Windows needed to reboot. Installed something else - and Windows needed to reboot. Why?! Why this pathological need to reboot every time something changes?! Windows users - please explain that to me! (especially since I've been installing stuff on my Mac a lot recently - and have been running uninterrupted for...well - check my uptime stats below)
