Looking at newegg, I saw a few of those on sale. I got the 2TB external drive at 60% off for $88. Should be here Wednesday. Now to get my own copy of windows 7 & I can proceed to deal with this in a better fashion. At least I got Openoffice fixed so I can work on my books once more. That was one of my main concerns. Book two of my Time Lords 2034 series is coming along nicely again. I've introduced a new character that is the bane of their new world. A walking disease with the knowledge & power of the ages that he'll attempt to bring to bare against Pete & his group...Do I hear the Imperial March here?...
