Hi A_Bailo, You told me:

You can find the hotfixes at http://support.microsoft.com
as links associated with Q articles.
You can also find them on the ftp.microsoft.com site.

Hmm... nothing about my printer was mentioned there... thanks anyways.
I hope to get my new hard disk today,
....a perfectly clean install is going to be my best bet, I think.

On another note... Ethen and Patinha are getting nasty on my floor again.

Seattle has something called Just_Cause_Eviction,
but it only applies to Month_To_Month contracts,
so, although I won my eviction hearing,
I'm now on a lease which ends January 31st.

My landlord might possibly renew it, come January 20th,
after all, I've lived here for over 5 years, always paying on time,
....so now I'm not taking any visitors other than Ethen, Patinha,
and, to a much lesser extent, Jessica... and I'm hoping they'll lay low for me.

I don't have to pay any rent come January first
because my last month's rent was prepaid,
so, if I do have to move, I'll only be out the deposit, 100 bucks.
