Here's how it is.

It's now five-thirty AM and the sun is up. I wanted to be asleep six hours ago. Installing Windows XP on a laptop where I didn't know what-all needed to be installed, then putting in every last driver I could find, then putting in Microsoft Office on top of all that, has chewed up my entire night. I want to be asleep. I can't get to sleep.

At the moment, there is precisely one person alive whom I would forgive for calling and awakening me before noon. After spending a night slugging it out with Bill Gates' brainchild? I am not taking prisoners.
