So Captain Obvious informed me I missed the train…

Let’s see, I wanted to do a plant/garden theme name for my computer, and now lemme think… what’s my online name again? ::smacks forehead::
Thank you ALL for your polling assistance! J

New computer, I shall dub thee Rose.

And now on to the fun Rose & I have been having, or rather not having.

It’s been so VERY long since I’ve had to deal with the headache that is setting up a new computer that I’ve forgotten how painful it can be.
I’ve had my old one customized & set up just exactly the way I liked it for so long that I took it for granted.

( the details of my new found loathing of XP )

There’s still a bit more stuff to install & do. I’ll be SOO happy when Rose is all setup & done and I can just play!
Tonight is installing Quicken, creating the necessary System Recovery DVD’s (since it didn’t come with an XP install disc, just a ‘recovery’ partition hidden on the hard drive). Then is creating Recovery Tools (which the literature that came with Rose tell me I can use to remove the recovery partition, as well as create new partitions).
Whether or not it’ll let me create partitions in space that’s already allocated is an entirely different story!
