Yeah, painful is a good word. I hate having to keep a machine in production
during a reinstall. I  usually try to find another box to put the production
stuff on so I can have free reign on the reinstall. Sometimes you just don't
have that option, though. Clients can be such a pain, eh?

Do they still make Jolt Cola? Those little chocolate-covered roasted coffee
beans are good, too <g>.
