My PC and I experienced a tearful reunion this afternoon. We’ve been making out and catching up for the past couple of hours. It’s been almost two months since it died and I am incredibly happy to have it back. It looks like all the data was salvaged for which I’d like to say a gigantic thank you Lord.

I thought it would take a couple of evenings to get all of my applications and drivers re-installed but it actually only took a couple of hours. I decided to only install the programs I really need and it turns out there are only a few. So I think I’m done.

I had mentioned a while ago that when I finally got my computer back I wouldn’t install any of the recording software that I had stolen off the Internet. I’m going to stick to that. So that leaves me with the only recording software I ever actually paid for: Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. This is the program I used to record “Invention of the Wheel”. In computer years this program is approximately a gillion years old but it will do 24-bit recording. That means I can use it for tracking until I can round up enough money to buy the software I want, then I’ll just transfer everything over to the new software to process and mix it. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to install it on XP or not but I think it should work. We’ll see.
