To be perfectly honest, I'm relieved that I don't have to continue downloading those posters (although I might do it anyway just to have a sense of completion). I've never seen such a ridiculous setup in my life, but I guess that's what comes of using Silverlight.
Then again, if I had not crashed the computer (with the follow-up of totally thrashing it without entirely crashing it), it probably wouldn't have been such a trial. It's just click, click, click, click and click, but I've been at the computer repair for nearly a month now (almost done--my computer is running very nearly perfectly and I have a backup of all my work so far). Of course, if I were smart and not so paranoid about losing some tiny bit of data that I'll probably never need, I'd have just formatted and performed a clean reinstall, but putting everything back afterward takes almost as much time as fixing it, so I guess it's a wash.
Okay, done whining. Back to the grindstone. My brain is starting to feel slightly functional again, and I don't want to waste it while it lasts.
