[snip] That's very interesting. Do you know something that I don't? Are my restore image discs not in their dedicated case? Do I expect to be robbed, or is my house scheduled to be destroyed, some time soon? Is the made-for-idiots restore procedure which I will already have accomplished once going to be suddenly much more arcane? I'm very interested in your prognostication and perception skills and how you can know these things about me that even I don't. If you'd be so kind as to tell me next week's winning lottery number, I'll be sure to pick up a ticket, too.
