I think I jinxed myself with my post about DRM on September 30th. In my comments, I mentioned how absolutely reliable my Windows 2000 machine had been. It naturally committed suicide a few days later by burning out a graphics card. I replaced the graphics card and 9 days later the computer crashed again. After many tribulations, I finally concluded, in a highly technical fashion, that it must be “some damn thing on the motherboard”.

So then I had to research, purchase a new computer, wait for it to be delivered, and then go through the laborsome duties of stripping out the bloatware, loading up the essential utilities, and transferring over my files.

Phew.

On the other hand, the Windows 2000 installation is still humming along merrily, the drive having been transplanted to another machine which it is now running quite pleasantly. (Something which would be impossible under Windows 7, of course, thanks to its DRM. Seriously, I hate DRM.)

By and large, you probably have no reason to care about any of this, except insofar as the conclusion is this: Barring any new catastrophes new content should begin flowing onto the Alexandrian starting tomorrow.
