Little update on where we stand. I was butthurt and stung for almost a week after the last update. Then, last week, I worked late on Thursday and didn't want to exhaust myself further on the suckers, then spent Friday night out gaming (but not OOTP ).

Saturday my laptop started to act out. I strongly suspect there is something living in there that doesn't belong (like southpaws named Salcido don't belong on the Coons anymore). I hope it'll be looked at today, because while my anti virus thing gives an alarm, it fails to clean the mess out. Since the laptop randomly chokes up all 8 GB of RAM even when sitting idle, to the point where all you can do is just shutting it off, it'd be a bad time to bring out the Furballs again.

I have the (hopefully not infected) backup pulled to a stick already in case the laptop needs wiping, but I won't subject myself to the hassle of reactivating OOTP on my old laptop unless extensive surgical repairs are necessary to the new one (which is barely nine months old and cost about $2,200 ...) - still hoping to get this resolved in the next few days.
