The worst is over
So, after much frustration and screaming (I can never thank my brother enough for putting up with me), it seems that the worst is over. My programs all work, at least as much as they did before the fubar. My files are mostly all restored. I've got my OS back, mostly. I've lost all my favorites in IE, but at least I've got my 4 years worth of email. I've got a lot of extra stuff on my hard disk now, because I'm not sure for certain applications whether the computer's reading the old ones or the new, reinstalled ones. I've got lots of hard disk space, though, so I'll just keep both around for a while. As long as I can surf the net and do my schoolwork, I'm happy.
On the upside, my dad has suggested that we can up the timetable on his graduation present for me, a significant chunk of the price of a new laptop. Tempting, but I don't have the money to pay for my part yet (I'll hopefully have it by december or sooner), and I don't like being in debt. We'll see.
Remind me not to do something this stupid again.
