My computer hates me.

Its true. Its out to get me.

During BC it wouldnt patch for well over 24 hours. Although my wife was able to and i tripled my router settings to make sure everything was fine.

This year i get back from the store and my dvd drive dies and wont read.

Its a conspiracy i tell ya.

Copy your wife's WoW folder! (If she's installed the xpac).. as long as you upgrade your account it'll be fine.

I commiserate w/ you... my last computer was a laptop that had a motherboard go south... And it's replacement was a desktop w/ vista (due to money constraints at the time ) Unfortunately the problem w/ a desktop, besides the vista on it, is that my only internet access on it is a 28k dialup connection, lol. Just imagine the horror of the 2.4-3.0 update

We went super cheesy and just networked her dvd drive and i installed from her machine. there is much happiness in the land.

Eek patching on a 28k must have been hell.

Glad to see you got it installed MidgetMage. I was in line this morning for my copy, but had to go to work for a few hours... installing now...

I seriously think I would /wrists if I had to patch or download anything bigger than an mp3 on dialup. The BBS days were good days, but 10MBps connection are FTW
