Damn Computers and Mosquitoes! 

Yeah, most houses here don't have gutters. Just not the thing here lol

I was able to get a DVD this morning and am now patching my system. 86 patches to go!

Sorry to hear about your computer problems Markee, I know how frustrating that can be =/

They have not been bad at all. In fact I don't think I've been bit yet while here. But when it started to rain. They all wanted shelter. lol

rains a lot in florida :P

Rather than buying a copy, disk and all, it might be better to look into buying a key and applying it to a downloaded or borrowed copy. Iirc it's cheaper that way.

Because I use this machine as a tool and I need it to be very reliable I will not consider upgrading the OS to Windows 8 until it's been out for at least a year. I require stability. :)

My PC is a Linux gaming machine.

Because no one is going to pay for that kack at Microsoft's usual price gouge.

An how is Tetris working out for you? I don't think Markee likes a chore to do, before playing any game that he can just install and patch on a Windows machine.

...no. He does gameplay videos, it's definitely not practical.

Linux is your solution :)

I think you can buy Windows 8 for $40.

Would you need a windows 7 ultimate disk? My school provides me with multiple copies of windows 7 for free. I could send you maybe a home premium or something or professional 64bit in mail? Shoot me a message with your reply! -Matt
