grrr..windoze

Today was yet another day in windoze hell. Between more winDVD nonsense, and BSOD's, it was just nonstop insanity. Then one of our customers in Taiwan ships one of those small form factor Shuttle-like boxen. Except the concept of properly packing hardware is apparently lost on them. They grabbed a few half inch thick sheets of foam, and made a half-hearted attempt to wrap the computer, before chucking it in a cardboard box. When it arrived one of the thumbscrews on the back was bent at a 45 degree angle, a second was missing, and the box doesn't power up at all. I just keep telling myself, two more days of this windoze crap, and then i can plunge 100% back into Linux land.
Oh and this is somewhat amusing.
