Now I'm trying to...Linkmeister2011-05-09T16:34:57-10:00Denial of fact to serve ideology

One of the hassles about replicating the environment you had on your previous machine is that the software may have been upgraded or changed since you installed the version you were using. This can be disconcerting. In my case, Firefox...Linkmeister2011-05-04T08:21:30-10:00Bread for breakfast!
