jwhouk:
And we're back - even if I gotta type this on a different machine (RIP Gateway 4010GT).

WAYF:
Noooo!

What happened to it?
Did you download a virus?
Did you download 423,827 viruses?


I don't like how the poll is something like 20:80 for bad/neutral outcomes:good outcomes. But then, this IS QC... :P
But I predict a nice, sunny future. Not because I think that's what will happen, but because I think they both need it.

Malware won't destroy a computer (unless you're running 95, 98, or Me, and you get infected by the CIH/Chernobyl virus, and your machine has a certain type of BIOS, and even then, the physical chip could still be removed, reflashed in an EEPROM programmer, and then reinstalled).

Also, one more vote for a bad outcome.

jwhouk:
I bought the thing in '04 and it was running XPSP3. You do the math.

Oh, and the worst thing, WAYF?

...My iTunes library is essentially unusable now, since my iPod (not the Touch) isn't "linked" to this computer.

No listening to "One More Minute" on here. :(

WAYF:
Awwww.

I had the same problem upgrading to this computer. Apart from anything else, it's Vista.
:( :( :( :( :(
But also, my iPod would no longer sync with it. I have to transfer any and all new music across to my old computer (which is on the verge of death) and then sync.
iPods are apparently not built for, shall we say, general compatibility.

I'll acknowledge your Weird Al reference if somebody acknowledges my Homestar Runner reference. :P
