OK, off-topic, I have a question. In a comment thread in your journal recently you were recommending a crud-cleanup program to someone who'd recently bought a Windows laptop. Well, a friend of mine recently bought a Windows laptop and I'm currently trying to uncrudify it. I remember it was cleansomething, but I might be remembering wrong. Can you recommend it again? Thanks muchly.
The most reliable way to decrudify a new machine is to boot off the OS install disk (if you don't have one, check to see if there's a utility to MAKE one, and run it) and install a clean copy. It's a new machine, so there's nothing to lose, and all you need is an ethernet driver to bring everything up to spec.
