okay..... my computer has contracted a deadly virus. I'm at my friend's, who has just formatted my hard drive. I will attempt to go home and re-install my life. If it doesn't work, you won't hear from me in a while. so sad. pray hard.

Update: Thanx Chris, all is well. And that extra stick of RAM is doing wonders. All of a sudden, I like my computer!!

okay now I'm late for bed.
