I lost my hard drive last week (something ate the FAT) so I went ahead and bought 7 Ultimate for the new HD. Wound up with the upgrade so I had to install my old XP Pro then upgrage to 7. So far it's been painless. Took some time because of the double load but I was going to have to re-install everything anyway so it was a window of opportunity. So far, I'm happy. Restarting my email was painless. Now it's a matter of rebuilding all my addresses and bookmarks. Anybody need a 250 GB paperweight?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
