Don't know if anyone missed me, but I've been offline for a
few days rebuilding my system. Fortunately, I have internet
access at work so I was able to get a small fix while I worked
on my home system.

Long story short, my system got corrupted by *something*. I
still haven't figured out exactly what or how. I think it was
a virus. At least, the problems sure acted like one. My master
boot record even got screwed. If it was indeed a virus, it's
my first ever experience with one in over 10 year's 'netting.

Anyway, no data loss. In fact, this just forced me to do the
rebuild I was planning anyway. And, I have 3 new 320 gig SATA
drives. Not all online at once, though. The extras are for
100% backup. I'm using removable drive bays, too.

So, I am back online, but I've still got much to install.
