Keep those cards and letters coming, Dawn!

If you're concerned about Windows acting up on you, there are a few Linux distros you could use in a pinch. Just reboot with the appropriate CD in your drive, and when it comes up, you'll be able to keep on going. (Admittedly, it'll look a fair bit different, but you should be able to figure it out.) Just a live CD, not an install CD, of course. Just think of it as your parachute, your life preserver, in the event that Windows gets all cranky (or virus-ridden, or p0wned by 1337
h@x0rz, etc). Just as a stopgap measure, until you have the time/patience to get Windows working again.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Welllll... I could always mail you a few CDs to try.

(Check with your brother, he might be able to hook you up.)
Oh... er... yeah, back to your boobage. Your major league sweater puppies (dawgz?). Your platinum-card-express-pass-to-the-front-of-the-queue-attention-grabbing-brain-scramblers. Yeah, those.

I'm keen for the corset look, so if you have one, could you post a few pics wearing it?
