Thanks for the thought, but when it starts macking amplified Rice 
Crispy kinds of noises and blinks "Operating system not found" at you 
in that wry way that only a computer can... it's really over.  
Besides, I think after the warranty runs out you have to sigh a DNR 
or something.

Plus, I no longer *have* the old hard drive, since HP (still the 
other HP) doesn't deign to send it back to you when they have to 
replace it.  So it's start from scratch time for me.  Oh well, at 
least it's all nice and tidy.  And echo-y.  

So cool, though, that you were able to get your stuff back.
