but the 2nd one is the one that doesn’t work. I haven’t had a failure with any system that I’ve built, so I guess this should be the last pre-built for you, right Kenny?

The world will still be the same mess it is tomorrow. Even soldiers need R&R.

So for your health and state of mind, you need to step back one day and reflect on your blessings and give praise to G_d.

Get your new computer up and running, and then resume your battle position.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you. :)

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis
