I defeated Microsoft, and managed to work around the XP SP 3 problem in a few short minutes. But it ended up taking two hours anyway because the computer needed a bunch of updates since it hasn't been run since May. And after each update, the computer had to restart.

Also, today I got a whole bunch of books at the library. I also got kicked out of the library as I didn't realize the stacks were closing so early because of tomorrow's holiday. I found all but one of the books I was looking for, though, so no great loss.
