It's been a very busy three days on the Slat Rat Technical front.
I installed Lisa's wireless network, identified and transferred a boat load of files - mostly videos which are really big - from the old desktop's hard drive to an external (portable) hard drive, fixed a problem with the new laptop's XP SP2 wireless device manager (it really objects to being disabled), exported the e-mail address book, browser favorites, and cookies from the desktop to the new laptop, etc....When I left this evening, everything seemed to be running very smoothly. whew!
The other tech battle I fought and won, was obliterating any trace of the latest Sasser Worm variant from Dellbert (Peter's laptop). Man - that was a job. I took three different major runs at it, before I completely nailed it. However, it didn't need to be that difficult. If I had just gone to the Microsoft Web Site at the very beginning, it would have been quite easy. It just didn't dawn on me that Microsoft would actually have detailed instructions. But evidently, they're beginning to get a small clue. Last night, I followed their "seven step Sasser removal program" and it worked like a champ.
So Peter and Dellbert are both very happy!
