The good news is that I'm almost entirely back up to speed. I lack installing a couple of small utilities, getting my webcam and scanner working, and then reinstalling my HTML editor, and then I'm totally back up. Pleased, yes, I am. This has been a quick wipe-and-reinstall.

I've got a 3G partition waiting for linux. I'm thinking I'm gonna give potato a whirl and see how it goes. All in all, it was a good day to do this. Lots of heavy rain outside. Jeff and I both agreed that we just wanted to stay home today. I'm just surprised at how easy it's been. The computer seems happier.
