For the completely experimental nature of my Linux desktop PC, I consider
reinstalling a learning experience that provides me with additional
knowledge.  Really in this case it proved to be the least convoluted
workaround necessary.  If I were doing this for a living and there was
critical information involved, I would have never considered
reinstallation.  I feel comfortable saying that this will be my last
install for a very long time. 

When is the meeting?  Any other activities other than the meeting scheduled
anytime soon?
