And the last word before I go to bed (2.15am). I wish I'd used the VGA option boot first, rather than try the reinstall. I now seem to have three "Peter Birks" and two "Peters". I managed to import all my e-mails and address book (after some effort), but now I have no idea which user profiles I want to keep and which ones I can get rid of. Result, lots of identities in the Documents & Settings area and an unlimited potential for losing files.
The desktop has lost all my shortcuts, but I suppose these can be reinstalled. No printers yet, or the scanner, or the Rio Karma, or the Palm. Not sure how these will interact with the new identities either.
So, plenty of potential for more nightmares to come. I'm not looking forward to the coming week at all.
Net loss on Party in the end, $178. Not bad considering the stress I was under elsewhere and the fact that I wasn't giving it my full attention (I was playing on the laptop). I certainly won't forget this week in a hurry.
Still tempted to hibernate for a few weeks. My mind just isn't up to this kind of stuff any more.
