After all of this, IT HAD BETTER WORK BETTER. I'm not guaranteeing what will happen if it doesn't. :evil:

I've lost several days of what should have been productive writing time. The windows installer was always running, and taking up to 100% of the bandwidth. At times up to six incidents of it were running at the same time. It kept downloading the same updates and trying to install them. I couldn't install anything or even uninstall anything. And all the time it was excruciatingly slow. I tried a refresh keeping my files. Wouldn't do it. I tried a refresh zapping my files. No go. So I downloaded the latest Windows 10 ISO, wiped the hard drive, and reinstalled.

Or rather, I'm reinstalling because my brother in law's internet leaves a few things to be desired. They are putting in fiber optic, but it won't get here until next week.

Our service provider has fiber optic, but it hasn't made it into our town yet...boooohoooo

I have never been there and don't know where to find it other than that it is at Drayton. Did you see any flood waters?

I'm pretty sure you won't find it in Drayton.
You'll need to ask Signtist where it is.

Well, I'm probably within a few hours of some of the other people on this forum. Spent the last couple of days at the Penn Vall Christian Retreat.
