OKay...maybe this is just to irritate ISP support more, but on my main PC I've switched to Thunderbird Mail client in addition to FireFox.

And I've finally got the PC back up and running. Mostly anyway, I've yet to tinker with the sound settings on it. need to dig up my sound files, I'm not entirely sure where i plugged 'em in... O.o

Slightly other news, I think I'm ready to launch my IRC bot in for real-time testing. Just need a good name for the dude(dudette) Fifteen characters max, and it can't be bartender or waitress. Java? Dunno.. heh. one of those things I gotta mull over, and I bet'cha i'll get hit by one at a weird time.
