Silly me, posting about upgrading that computer. The very next day three hoodlums kicked in my side door and stole both computers and sundry other appliances. (A neighbor saw it happen, got the vehicle license, but they haven't been caught, for whatever reasons.) My external hard drive (the backup of my computer) went out the door at the same time. I'm now using XP pro, and the only update I had to do was to update from the XP Home version on the new computer I picked up on Monday. Nice to have a new one, but I'm always going to regret the many years worth of material lost in the old one. I have some stuff on disks, but not nearly as much as I should have.

Lost hard drive, indeed!
