Call the mortician. It's dead.

Yep, the hard drive on my main work computer died today. Actually just the C and G drives. That means I've only lost all of my programs (on C) and all of my games (on G). Yikes!!!

Now the real work of establishing a new working environment on a second computer starts.

To keep myself amused and perhaps even capture of record of steps for future such disasters, I've decided to blog my progress.

I suppose if you're reading this log, you'll need to work your way backwards if you care for a historical (or perhaps hysterical) account.

So while I take stock of the situation and muddle around trying to find which of the backup disks is the most recent, I'll download OpenOffice. No way will I use the MSWorks that comes preinstalled on most windows systems.

More later. Off to http://www.openoffice.org to download my text editor.
