My Laptop Crashed

Well my Laptop crashed - which is a good thing because I learned a lot about the recovery process, anti-virus programs and ActiveSync (3.7)!:D
In the end I had to abandon the recovery process, and reformat the hard drive. I then loaded everything back on. And finally got ActiveSync 3.7 to behave itself
The whole process was a real learning experience. It was nowhere as bad as my short stint as a high school Math and Physics teacher.
