My computer! It's ALIVE!!!
It works, it's cleaner, peripherals installed (discovered the loose extra USB cable was for my webcam - no wonder the silly thing wasn't working :-o) and most of my favourite software has been reloaded (MS Office, CorelDraw, Firefox, Skype, Trillian, Irfanview, AMP Font Viewer, Adobe reader, Media Monkey, Symmtime) and all my fonts (links-only to the Windows directory).
The biggest hitch was that Netscape (yes, I was still using it as my mail client) would NOT install. It wasn't that I particularly liked Netscape, it's just that after using it for so many years, all my mail and folders, which I do use, were only accessible in it.
Well, I had to bite the bullet, and installed Mozilla Thunderbird. Did it, got both accounts created - then dicovered how to import ALL my mail and folders from Netscape without screwing up the new mail! Woot! Woot! Links in email now open a new tab in Firefox automatically - no stupid IE launch. So beautiful. So easy. *happy sigh* So easy to switch between mail, website links, research tabs - and not get screwed up when interrupted by a phonecall! I feel so productive!
Maybe it's time for a nap :-)

Welcome to the wonderful world of Thunderbird. :)
Roger, you are my very first commenter. Probably my very first visitor/reader, too. I am very much a blog-newbie. Thank you, oh obi-wan-Sabadon. I love you forever.
As I was reading this I thought "why not try Thun..oh, she did.." :)
