But while all you regulars have been besotted with UPS,
I've been BSODDED with XP.
Two weeks ago the HD popped its clogs and even 'safe mode' endlessly
looped. So all that good stuff about re-installs was not a lot of
help. So, 'bit the bullet, took the 7yr old LGB to a well equipped lab
and
had its internal organs transplanted.

I thought I coped with it all with calm complacency. An
inconvenience, for sure. But no great tradgedy. SWMBO reckoned I was
like a bear with a sore head! :-))

Now up and running, bright eyed and bushy tailed having weeded out a
whole load of rubbish, and back to full lurking mode again.

Nice to see all the 'weel kent' faces again. 'Anybody get their feet
wet?

Glad to see you posting anytime Ned, glad you got things all sorted!
