Rebuilt!

The problem with rebuilt computers is that getting them functional again takes such a long time.

For example, getting Microsoft Outlook to recognize two different email accounts took half an hour and tweaking multiple adjustments—and now that I stop to think about it, I still need to add a third (rarely used) email account to the program.

The second, more annoying problem, is that although Windows Media Player is supposed to be able to play DVDs, it doesn’t actually play DVDs. Fortunately I remembered vaguely that I might need to download codecs in order to play them, but that still took me half an hour to remember.

At least I discovered the missing codecs at home and not sitting on a train going somewhere. I needed the Internet to resolve this problem.

And judging by the (lack of) comments, this will be my last boring computer entry for awhile.
