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.

  Chris
