So I figured it was time to upgrade my damm OS, and not just ’cause I’m going to be putting in an XP network at work soon and need to get a little more familiar with it all. I figure, three or four hours should be enough time to back everything up, wipe the drive, re-install ‘98, and upgrade to XP, right?

Nope.

Of course, I have really bad luck when it comes to doing this stuff without a net. So, after about 11 hours, I just say f*** it, and buy a new hard drive. (’Cause hey, I needed some practice doing *everything* from the ground up too.)

Now I have a happy new hard drive, and all is well with the universe. Well, execpt for that huge ass area over there marked “ceaseless war coverage”. The down side? Spending half of today re-installing software, importing mail, all that fun stuff.
