I finally got my system reinstalled and my ADSL line hooked up. And I tell ya, I missed 'em both. Without all the registry clutter, my system's load time is noticeably faster, and I don't have to go to the library to get on the 'Net during the evening or on a Saturday afternoon.
I'm having problems, of course; to have this go perfectly would be too easy. My drivers for the video card and monitor aren't doing what they're supposed to, and as a result I'm stuck at 640x480 with 16 colors. Not 16-bit, 16. Let me tell ya, Web sites look a little odd this way. Even my site isn't immune; the cream color I use displays as white and the red glow displays as gray.
But I'll fix that in time. And now, to celebrate having my connection back, I'm gonna turn off my computer and go have a drink with my friends.
