This past week I brought my machine back up to a full running state. I'm still installing apps as needed. The IDE controller card seems to be working fine, though the machine won't boot into XP without a keypress. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get around that. The only thing that I know I've lost was my bookmarks file, and that made me unexepectedly sad. I'd built up so many bookmarks over time that I feel like I lost something I don't know if I'll be able to rebuild. Which is funny, because bookmarks aren't even really data, just metadata.

Anyway, here's hoping things stay stable.
