Why didn’t I think to do a basic hardware test on the kids machine before reimaging it? (whee failed hard drive)

On the plus side it being a business grade laptop replacing the drive itself is dead easy… on the downside I need to figure out how to get the key for reinstalling the OS as it an OEM key and that can be a pain to get physical media for can’t it?
Since you own a legit license, there’s no shame in torrenting one that’s easier to install, right?
(Mind those hashes!)
It can wait a day and it is from a local shop that we have got 2 laptops from so I imagine if I take it in to them tomorrow they can reimage it or give me a cd and key without much fuss. And isn’t worth it to support places like interconnection?

Am I morally in the right calling the corporate offices of a company to try and get some traction when they screwed up making my books three weeks ago? It’s been enough time that I can track down the VP of Customer Relations’ home phone number and call at two in the morning, right?

Have y’all seen THIS?!??!??
O: Was it a personality conflict between you and Sutherland, or was he just not what you’d envisioned in that role?
JW: No, no, he was just a prick. The thing is, people always make fun of Rutger Hauer [for his Buffy role]. Even though he was big and silly and looked kind of goofy in the movie, I have to give him credit, because he was there. He was into it. Whereas Donald was just… He would rewrite all his dialogue, and the director would let him. He can’t write—he’s not a writer—so the dialogue would not make sense. And he had a very bad attitude. He was incredibly rude to the director, he was rude to everyone around him, he was just a real pain. And to see him destroying my stuff… Some people didn’t notice. Some people liked him in the movie. Because he’s Donald Sutherland. He’s a great actor. He can read the phone book, and I’m interested. But the thing is, he acts well enough that you didn’t notice, with his little rewrites, and his little ideas about what his character should do, that he was actually destroying the movie more than Rutger was. So I got out of there. I had to run away.
