First Post ;)
Well - getting there! After some memory issues on the system (my ram was improperly detected as SLOWER than it is - I’m sure all you non-tech folk really wanted to know that!) - but I am now back to installing apps, and it’s going well, and even more snappier now that my memory is in 128bit mode (or so the bios tells me).
But it’s coming along, now I just need to find food, as I didn’t eat anything since lunch with dad, so need to cruise out and find food - maybe hit the bank too as I have a bank bag of deposits (lotsa checks) - but at this rate in the AM I can get the last bits of installs (office/frontpage/adobe stuff) and be online and operational once again. Thanks for the prayers, and the random IM’s (even those from you Courtney) 
Have a Good Weekend folks!
