To quote one of the March Challenge poems: Age, too high a price to pay for wisdom, Knowledge is not worth the bitter price paid; Nor, the passing of the plans youth has laid, That tumble to earth like withered blossoms Courtesy of Charmz. When I lost a 13G hdd last year because a plate was scratched, and lost my Ray Dream Studio, it took all the things I had learned previously to put all of the pieces back together and get up and running again with minimal loss. Some of my drivers were missing. Some had passwords I couldn't find. And as I reinstalled Windows 2000 wiping everything away, despite product claims it would not happen I see there is a reason that the blossoms fall.
