So much for *that* crisis...

Swapping the old mobo and CPU for the new came fraught with some peril at first, as it seemed none of my USB devices were working in the slightest and I had no network connection. And, of course, my forgetting that such a swap causes Windows to summarily deactivate itself

It really galls me that I have to call MS and beg for their kind permission to use the software I own, but as I still need Windows for some tasks it's something I'll just have to grin and bear.

There are other, easier and just-as-effective ways to handle that problem, but it's apparent that you've been spooked sufficiently not to consider them. My condolences that you felt you had to put yourself through all that. At least it's over and everything is working.

Ah, but IIRC, you *don't* own the software. MS does and kindly allows you to rent it. Bah.

Also, glad you're online. Care to, I dunno, drop by? :P
