I learned how to do something useful today. I learned how to reformat a hard drive the ***right*** way. Yes, there is a very, very, very wrong way to reformat a hard drive that erases EVERYTHING from your hard drive including the drivers you need to operate the cd rom to reinstall the operating system.

I did it that way ONCE!! Live and learn!! Thank God it wasn't MY computer!! I don't think my uncle will ever forgive me!!

Today, thanks to some help from some special friends (from back in the Gas-House days!!), I got Windowz XP installed successfully on Mr. Keith's computer. Helpful hint: Have the product key available to type in at the prompt. Mr. Keith didn't keep the cd in the orginal jewel case. Funny, how you need that jewel case (and the product key that's located on it) in times like these. Luckily, the nice ladies at Mircosoft were able to generate a new key for moi. We were up and running in no time flat.

Here's a fun game to play: http://www.bassfiles.net/parachute.swf
