Life without System Restore just isn't worth living

[susandennis]

Ok, so the download and installation of the Office 2007 trial did not go well - it did not go quickly or easily either so I figured there was a turd in the punchbowl and, sure enough, it was fucked up to beat the band.  And fucked up other stuff.  I think this computer is just not taking any more crap from me under any circumstances.

I can wait.  My brother is picking out my new clear sided case tomorrow and got the memory 4 GB's today. 

And System Restore is about the greatest gift God ever bestowed.  There is precious little that I am happier to see than my computer back the way it was before I started fucking with it. 

Sherry and Lee just called to see if I wanted to go to Columbia City (a hot new neighborhood south of here for pizza at a pizza place that everyone says is the best - Tutta Bella's) for dinner.  I said HECK YEAH!!!

Oh and the project manager who misteriously disappeared last week?  We have a replacement and I think she's going to do fine.  I've been filling in and let me tell you, I'm very happy to hand the reins over.  Whew.

imho, you *really* do want to wait for your vista box to turn up. office 2007 is just ok with win xp, but it shines with vista. searches with outlook are lightning fast!

Thank you!!! That's actually just the news I needed to hear. I will forget this afternoon's little side show!

"there was a turd in the punchbowl"

Susan, where do you get this stuff? One of these days I will fall out of my chair laughing.

And sadly so little of it is original which says so much about the people I hang with and the stuff I read and watch!

System Restore is wonderful. I'd put Remote Assistance up there as well.

I've never actually used Remote Assistance. VPN was alway all I needed. But the concept is wonderful. I just have spent so much time waiting and waiting for the system to come back only to let out a huge WHEW. It's gratitude in a bottle.

I wonder if your brother will put some UV reactive cables and case lights in your clear-sided case...

Wouldn't that be fun?!! I sent him the picture from melodysk's journal and told him how cool I thought that was...
