FIXED
Three Windows reinstalls, four calls to a quite nice batch of technicians in the glorious State of Gujarat, two screwed up Winsock "patches" that were so fucking ragged I called 'em Clarence, and a savage dump of Ad-Aware and I'm cruising.
Remember when I said my leisure time was worth $250 an hour? I could have bought three new laptops for the time I've spent hedgehogging this issue.
But I crammed it throught tonight. Hell of a way to spend your 25th anniversary.
And I pulled out the abacus, and I must have been 12 when I got married. The abacus never lies, after all.
P.S. And quit giving me shit for still using 98. I'm used to that spavined, cleft-palated operating system. Besides, that's like saying your '71 Gremlin doesn't have anti-lock brakes or a driver's side airbag. Of course, it doesn't, hammerhead! But aren't you missing the big picture? I've got a fucking Gremlin!
