hwangoBecause they are awesome people, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lconover and cotter_salem spent another evening with me healing my sickly, plague-ridden paperweight. As a result of their efforts, I think that I can actually start calling it a "computer" again. Everything seems okay. I mean, it still sprays me with blood and chants in a demonic voice whenever it starts up, but I expected that from Windows X(tra)P(ervasive).
One of the simultaneously cool yet creepy things I've noticed so far is that Windows Media Player knows the name, artist, track titles, and genre of my CDs...well, just the one so far. I'm looking forward to seeing which ones it recognizes. How long has that information been stored on CDs, anyway?
I can tell it's going to take me a while to adjust completely to XP, but I'm getting there.
