I would be more impressed with my accomplishment if I could determine
that at least some of the problems I had were not self-induced and could
be blamed on HP or Vista or XP. :-))
I now know more about partitioning and installing operating systems and
tweaking them than I ever thought I would.
I sometimes wonder why I can't be happy with a new computer straight out
of the box. I have no real idea as to why I do/did all of this except
to satisfy my urge to be a reckless maverick. :-))
