I love you, HAL. This stupid, outmoded rubbish heap of a machine just might end up saving my life.

EDIT: ::cries tears of joy:: It’s working. It’s working. Now if only I could actually see through these tears so I could get back to work!

2nd EDIT: Permission to seriously injure Christine? She sent me 21 files, each between 2 and 3Mb. Each is taking approxmately 10 minutes to download on my demeted modem. And I’m on #2. ::twitches::

3rd EDIT: Back to loving Christine. She’s rushing me a photo CD of the 21 files, an action that merits uncountable kudos-age. Of course, I still have to continue downloading the 21 files, because the files I really need were sent after the 21. Ye gods.
