My computer died. It wouldn't boot. I formatted it and reinstalled windows and I'm currently downloading the programs I need.

I lost 15gigs of music. Probably a bunch of other stuff I didn't real care about.

I would have put Linux or something on, but I didn't have it.

So, I'm going to use open-source stuff like Firefox--which I already did--and Open Office, and Gimp. Is there an open-source messenger I should use? I'm going to try Trillian.
