I'll be getting a new computer.

Problem is, it involves leaving my old computer behind and gifting it to one of my mother's businesses. (I love it how my parents have matched their growth in income so that they look rich no matter how old I am.)

Essentially, what this means is that from around now to sometime next week, when my new computer becomes available and everything's all installed, DROD.net won't be updated except by me prodding Schik.

I'll probably still be able to access the forum, and the Legendary Smitemasters have been updated. (There you are, wackhead). I just figured you guys may want to know, even though there probably won't be much difference unless we get closed down again.

Knock on wood.

Matt

If it'll help, I have a stick in the basement...

Wackhead,

are you really sure your name is not really called Micheal Boulton?

-- Tim (who is still not sure what name he will use for the hall yet, but hopes that it will be spelled correctly.)

Matt, what have I told you about letting the riffraff into the basement?

*sigh*

If you'd come visit just once...

Anyways, would you be so good as to just fix that little spelling mistake, Schik? I mean, I would, buuuuuttt...

Well, here's the scene. For the first time in about 2 years my old computer has enough space to do a disk defragment. But of course, it's now gone into retirement as an office computer that'll be used maybe twice a year, max. I'm typing this on a six year old computer that apparantly can't recognise an internal modem unless it has little dip switches on it to tell the computer where to find it. Whatever you may blame Microsoft for, Plug and Play really comes in handy.

And everything that I decided I probably should keep (goodbye half my savegames! Goodbye Warcraft III! So long, Firefox 0.9!) is all on CDs.

Let me tell you all (well, okay, just those who gather lots of useless junk on their computers), there's nothing so invigorating as burning everything you really need to keep onto CDs, then deleting everything else and doing a disk format. Gotta love it.

Matt
