Lets hear it for WIndows 2000! (NOT!)

This is what, the THIRD time this year I have had to reinstall the stupid OS. Not to mention, that it is not compatible with my printer, nor any updated version of Internet Explorer. WTF? I just spent the past few days playing amateur diagnostic tech/idiot with my computer. I cannot afford to take it to a professional, so I took it upon myself to figure it out myself. I now have security updates, patches, new drivers, etc, that are supposed to make Windows behave. I have not made it a full 24 hours yet, so I will not do the celebratory dance just yet. I am now a file backup fool. I have added a zip drive to my christmas list.
