Tonight my third attempt at installing an operating system was successful. I am two for three. I have successfully installed Windows XP twice now on my own computer. Once I convinced Moriah to let me try to “update” her computer and, taking advantage of her ignorance, attempted to install Linux. Unfortunately I failed, and Moriah was not amused. But I haven’t given up yet. The last time that I did this, I had Scott and Philip mocking me. Maybe if I heed Michael’s admonitions about not installing junk, I won’t need to do it again for a while.
