Thanks. Can you believe it, my laptop just went with me to a keynote, I did 
the keynote, put the laptop back in my bag, turned it on today, a week later 
and the registy is corrupt, system files, etc. so I am sitting here with 
repair console, etc. fixing it. Computers are way to easy to foul up and 
then there are about 100 files that have to be fixed, registry updated, blah 
blah. I should be able to copy a single file OS.EXE and its fixed, done. 
This is so crazy.

Moral of the story have backups tommorow!
