Pinstruck.com. Send someone an anonymous voodoo curse. Very nice graphics. I have half a mind to order one of their t-shirts.
Update: Bertie was NOT amused by the voodoo curse I sent her. I’m sorry Bird-dog 
It was just a joke.

Confess-O-Matic
Confess-O-Matic. I’m spooked by the whole confession thing. These days you have do it right in front of the priest and he sees who you are. So, I haven’t been in 8 or 9 years – probably since my confirmation (via prolific.org).

Back to Windows 98.
The reports of my death were not exagerated. After figuring out I wouldn’t be able to use my printer or webcams with Win 2000, I decided to wipe my hard drive clean and go back to Win 98.
Thus began my day and half of frustration trying to get my computer working again. The difficulty I had was reinstalling my video card driver. It didn’t want to work for some reason. I had the Windows genius from down the hall helping me, but he too was baffled.
Finally I just wiped the drive clean and started from scratch AGAIN, and this time it worked flawlessly.
So now I’m finally back up again and I need to think of a new name for my reincarnated system (Last time it was Bessie, which I seem to remember was Kevin‘s grandmother’s name).
But I’m going to install Win 2000 again on a partition and wait patiently for drivers to be written for my peripherals. I can’t get the memories of the shadows on the cursors out of my mind…

Windows 2000, Part V.
Well, I upgraded from Win 98 to 2000 (incredibly smoothly, with no glitches). I was partly able to trick my Intel webcam driver into working, but my Logitech webcam still won’t work. My Palm is working fine, but I haven’t tried to use my printer or my Rio MP3 player yet.
As sad as I am that webcams are not quite working, I am very much in love with Win 2000. The performance is very peppy on my 350mhz. Now I have to decide whether to go back to slower, bloated Win 98 or just wait patiently until I can get my webcams to work with Win 2000.

Windows 2000, Part IV.
Anil had some good Windows 2000 advice for me (he’s been using it at work for over a month). So now I’m going to try to do an upgrade installation instead of a separate partition installtion. Hopefully then all my webcam drivers will be tricked into working with Windows 2000. If not… then I format my hard drive and reinstall Windows 98. It wouldn’t be the end of the world.
