Brief Note: My home desktop machine has manifested a mysterious malfunction, which involves it not booting (or, indeed, looping through a partial boot over and over again). The hard disk seems to be ok -
olethros was able to look at files on it when he booted from a Linux CD - so I'll be able to retrieve data, and I can get online from the laptop, but I won't be on WoW or EVE for a few days until we work out what needs to be done to get the desktop running again. I'm hoping it just needs a reinstall of Windows, but it might yet be a hardware problem. We'll see.
