Ahhhhhh.
We had the triple whammy there, hard problem to solve when there are so many factors gone buggy at once. Have lost my address book. (We did save it before the rebuild but alas and alack, the virus appears to have corrupted our ability to open the disc.) Ditto my Favourites.
Annoyances abound: have spent the last two hours downloading CoffeCup's free ftp program only to find it hardly recognisable as the same fine free idiot proof tool that won my heart all those years ago, nope, upgrades have taken place. Can I get the thing to upload pics to Ozemail? Can I get the damn thing to connect to anything for that matter? Not on your nelly.
::sigh::
And Semagic? Got me to the edge of tears, it's easy enough to install once you find the download: finding the download, that was the challenge.
Enough with the whinging has everyone seen this by now?

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still llegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...

Telstra fixed the phone line
The pc was rebuilt
My spouse replaced the modem
My son exhibits guilt.
