Firk- ding- blast!

My OS crapped out this morning. Nothing fatal, but I've been spending a large section of my day reinstalling XP and all my programs, and reconfiguring everything to my taste. All the important stuff was backed up. But I have lost a day putting it all back together. Oh, and I've lost about a week's worth of email archives, so if I owe you an email and you haven't heard from me, please drop me another line and I'll reply as soon as I can.
