so, i got some rest. worst things could happen.
the machine is still up, and i'm doing things like running chkdsks and setting group policy and fixing security descriptors. i want to be sure that it's as good as i can get it before i expose myself to the police harassment again.
i can't imagine it taking all night.
but, that's what i'm doing. still.
as i've now wasted four more days on this, i have little choice but to get out to print and stuff tomorrow.
