>>Hey! great to see you back here. Don't know when you got back - my computer deep sixed and they took it away for 3 weeks and then gave it back to me unfixed (but they seemed to think it was - even though it still wouldn't boot) so they took it away again for another 3 weeks. So I haven't been around much. Anyway, nice to see you back.
