Thanks for the support guys!

Well, its been a long day today (currently 2:45am) but I'm more or less up and running again.
After having postponed the decision to buy a new pc (mainly because of Vista, prices of a dx10 gpu etc) for a couple months (my regular pc broke down somewhere November last year iirc), I just couldn't wait any longer.

After having replaced the old motherboard, cpu, gpu and OS today, I'm now the proud owner of a 'highend' pc running Vista. (yes you got that right, Vista ).

There's still a bit of software I have to install, before I'm really back on track again, but in all, I'm a happy camper again.

As far as my entry goes. Well, there is no way I meet the goals for this stage and with the graphics resources still unavailable for a while, I'm up for a hell of a task, getting it all done.

With the final deadline a little over a month away, I hope this really was the last setback
