Corky - the best way to ruin a new PC is by installing SP2 - you know that right? A new PC shouldn't be ruined by SP2. It would be third party software using programming hacks and shortcuts in their software. Some of these had to be blocked of in SP2 because they where liable to security issues.

Ja. When I got my Dell, the first thing I did was to format it in reinstall the system my way.

Yea, the Burger King man appeared many times. I'm still puzzled about what he's doing. I was impressed when I thought of a dog and Vader tried to guess the type of dog. That is impressive.

When I first got my hands on a computer connected to the internet (after two minutes of the modem going beeep duuurh eeerph beeep duur etc. etc. each time) and started signing up on websites I used DrBrain as my nick. Can't remember any more why I choose that nick. Later on however I felt the urge for a change.
