XP/Vista Reload
31,000 emails in about two years. Most of them seem to have been generated by me with OT: in the subject line. LOL

Well my brilliant ass decided that I couldn't live with the DrWatson thing every time I opened "My Computer", so in complete frustration I threw in my XP Home disk and went to town.
-I forgot to unlock the "My Documents" folder. I had to be creative about getting to my files.
-I forgot (well actually didn't care) that the Vista Bootloader is different than 2K/XP. So when I am finished unfracking my XP drive I get to reload Vista... JOY.
-I decided in my infinate wisdom to try Outlook Express this time, and sync 2.5 years of list mail from GMAIL. That's about a kick in the nutz. It only does 1200 or so messages at a time and gives up. I am up to about 4000 messages right now and have no idea how far to go. (I just want to drop them to DVD) I haven't even gotten out of 2005 yet.
Sigh. I am being punished for past sins.
