Okay.  I am sick and tired of my computer bogging down for no reason (other than being bloated with software I no longer use and it not being formatted in over 2 years).  So I decided to format it and have a nice clean install of everything.  The question?  Where did I put my Windows cd?

I spent an hour and a half looking through every packed box (probably 15 boxes worth of stuff) to come up empty handed.  I did find the cd case containing the cd key but no cd.  WTF?  I started really getting annoyed after looking for an hour and a half.  I decided I must have lost it during the move.   I began putting my closet back together and taking items from the shelving above my clothes where I had stuffed the items from the boxes while on my search.  What do you know?  The cd is just sitting there all by itself on the top shelf.  I'm not sure how it got there... why it wasn't in its case... but I was quite relieved.

I plopped it into my tray and rebooted (having already backed everything up) and got on my merry way.  The sad part?  It took less time for me to do a complete install (format the hard drive and install windows) than it takes my work laptop to go from off to usable.  WOW!  Sad.
