Hiya,

Just in case anyone has been losing sleep over where I’ve been for the last six weeks; I’m recovering nicely from a nasty virus I picked up somewhere.  
My mother always used to say “Bully, that web is dirty! Don’t touch it!” Did I listen? No.  
So here I am with a new motherboard and a new hard drive (covered by warranty) and missing lots of groovy stuff that used to be on the old hard drive before it all got emailed to Uzbekistan or something.  
Kids, learn from my mistake: Keep your virus protection updated and back up your data! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
