Thanks. I accidentally booted with the USB cable plugged in,
and pulled it as quickly as I could. MicroSoft products
have a habit of making presumptions about what the user wants
when they encounter unusual circumstances, and being difficult
to convince that the user was doing something other than
presumed.

I remember one time when it took me about 2 hours to convince
Word that I really, really wasn't trying to make an enumerated
list just because a few lines in a row happened to begin
with numbers.

So I'm kinda careful about that sort of thing. Especially since
I'm trying to pay the rent with this computer.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
