after the crash

I feel like I've been gone for ages and ages and suffered greatly for it! My computer crashed and was in getting a new hard drive. I lost EVERYTHING. So now begins the tedious task of reloading (and sometimes re-searching) all the software I need to make everything run again. I'm very lucky in that I backed up some files and kept some program CDroms in a safe place (that I could actually find!) so have patience with me as I try to get my little computer world back again!
Cheers,
Wendo
