s/mush/much/, although that was a rather humorous typo, since I sure felt
like mush.  (I think that is also how I would feel were a hippo to be
dropped on me).  On Saturday, after a brief power outage, I got a blue
screen of death claiming UNMOUNTABLE_ROOT_VOLUME when trying to boot;
nothing like that to induce sheer panic.  Fortunately, the drive itself
was okay, it was just a filesystem crash; and running 'chkdsk /r' after
booting off the Windows CD solved the problem after several agonizing
hours of waiting.  Now why can't windows use fsck, or even better, a
journaling file system that is immune to power glitches?
