back! That's a bummer. I had the same problem two years ago. Jamie spit up on my computer, and it "fizzled".

Ah, "Cat Syndrome" as opposed to "China Syndrome"

Glad you're back, boys mum!

I had to replace my entire hard drive a couple weeks ago. It was giving hints that is was going to go(like beeping at me, and not reading the drive sometimes when I first turned it on), I was just not expecting it when it did. So I lost everything. It sucks. There was so much on my computer, I am not even trying to look for it all again, or re-download it, except for important stuff. It is too much of a pain in the a$$.

Hard drives can be like our cats. They give us subtle hints that they aren't feeling well and get sick at the most inconvenient times.

Actually it does. When I saw the title, I was surprised to see "reloading Linux" because Windows is usually the culprit. And it is good to see that my view of the world is still intact.
Glad you're back.
