I spent something like 12-13 hours and Mike is now up and running again. I installed a better and more slick Windows XP on another hard disk (newer, but not still brand new, because Mike won’t boot large disks,) and transported my Firefox and Thunderbird profiles over from the old BugXP, oops, I mean WinXP. I have a basic habitat up now, including all the drivers, some of which where rather hard to find, but still my codecs, my key ring and my development tools and environment (besides VC9.0) are not satisfactory.
But I’m relieved that this old dragon is still living on. Queue “Some kind of monster”! By the way, Mike says thanks to all of you who asked and where worried about his health! And Rincewind (my laptop) is trying to pretend that he’s not jealous!
