Lappie is now 2000. Hooray! much better than "WinMe". all of his drivers are working... I just have to get big brain twiddled so that Lappie can share big brain's internet, files and printing. The Laptop didn't like the 2000 drivers too much... fortunately I had a crack team of netsurfers downloading video, modem, and assorted other OS pieces for me. :)

I should have Big brain home and back online tomorrow night.... I'm guessing that maybe 30 minutes more of work will complete the little remainder.

Thinking about my sweetheart, and hoping that she's having the most pleasant of dreams. I'm going to join her in snoozetown shortly.

Goodnight, dear journal.

WinME was a horrible system. 2000 is much better, and it doesn't crash(much). Watch out for some of the tricky EULA's as most of there service packs now come with nasty 'you agree to allow us to update our code on your system at our whim' type things.

oh, I agree... I've had win2k on the big brain for a good long time now, and it's been a little angel.

that "autoadapt" has it's uses, but that is annoying!
