A new day, a new year

Gray skies, and a chill breeze... most of the peasants will be huddled in their hovels, the lords in their manors sleeping off the nights revel, the guards at their posts will be more interested in keeping warm than what is coming over the horizon... it is a good day to go a viking. Oh wait.... wrong time period. Gray skies and a chill breeze... most of the peasants will be trudging off to the the last of the holiday sales, the lords sleeping off their hangovers, and what guards??... drinking coffee and eating doughnuts I suppose.

Yesterday was a good day, spent most of it building a computer for Annie. It would of gone faster, much faster if we hadn't tried to save what was on her old computer. It took two hours of ME refusing to ugrade to XP before she agreed to just reformat the old drive. After reformating the drive we were done installing all of the software in about 45 miniutes, just in time for her to go back home to Mahomet. I almost feel sorry for her brother, he gets the old computer, with a wiped drive, and gets to reinstall the os by himself. So if you hear a history geek weeping quietly in a corner cursing my name, that will be him trying to get Windows ME to work. Oh well he needs to learn about computers anyway and what a better way to learn than best two out of three falls.... right?? At least he doesn't have to install any harware, just software.... poor bastard. Do we go to hell for setting up computer illiterates with Herculean tasks???
