When last we heard from this intrepid writer, he was undergoing the latest in torture as his family was installing new floor coverings throughout the house. It's all the bad things about moving (boxing everything up) with none of the good things (you don't get to actually move). Eventually it all has to be unpacked again yet you're still in the same town. When reassembling my PC it spontaneously rebooted 3 times and then failed to see the hdd as a boot device; requesting a repair disk. ACK! Needless to say, recovery has been another moving experience and no updates to the "My Hell" web page have been done since M$'s "let's lead you into oblivion" feature activated. Once I finish getting all my programs and data recovered, I'll update the site with the details. On the positive side I was able to ride at least a couple of times this week (when I wasn't having to get paint or baseboards from Lowes) and I did get this slick 250 Gb SATA drive and a +-RW dual layer DVD burner to ease the pain some.
