dakegrabah, humbug
brought laptop home, along with sundry disks to do a complete rebuild of the machine.
Except that I was given a retail licence key for XP rather than the volume licence key to go with the disk I have.
Many phone calls and emails later...
still no licence.
So, I can't use the work laptop. K is on the pc upstairs, so I've dusted off the old laptop and am using that.
I've emailed boss to ask for afternoon off instead, saves spending the whole afternoon worrying about it.
Hmm. Tempted to try sticking linux on this laptop, just to see what happens...
