Well that was clever. I should write a book called 'how to fuck up your computer and give yourself a heart attack'. I seem to be good at it.
There's something wrong with my Windows CD. I need to get a new one. Or maybe it's just the personal webserver on it that's screwed. I was trying to install that to test out the CGI stuff I've been tooling with, but all it did was kill Explorer. Dumbness.
