Watching the Sharks - Hawks

The 'puter is restored and we're running a backup as we speak, while watching the first game of the Western Conference Finals.  The restoration took a lil longer than we thought it would, about six hours, all told.  This included installing six or eight applications from disk, two apps from the 'net, and sixty-freakin'-five (65!) Windows updates... along with multiple re-starts.  The Gateway factory OS image isn't very damned current, to say the VERY least.  Is there any doubt in your mind as to why I delayed this task as long as I did?

Here's my new desktop...

It's an old photo of my favorite ride (an RD350LC) taken on a sad, sad day... the day I sold her (which would be sometime in June 1983). 

And now it's hockey.  We have about five minutes left in the third period and the game is tied, 1-1.  I predicted the Sharks in six but I'm beginning to wonder.  I wasn't sold on Antti Niemi's qualities as a goaltender up until today, and that's why I chose the Sharks in this series.  But Niemi has made some spectacular saves today and is keeping the Hawks in the game.  Good stuff, this.  Well, dang!  Chicago scores just as I was typing this and they're up, 2-1.  I fear for my prognostication.

Update 1547 hrs: Chicago wins, 2-1.  Oh well... it's one of seven.
