If I had gotten this e-mail message _before_ it got wiped, then I would've been safe. It happened not _one_ hour before I actually got this message :P Now I gotta do it alllll over again! This happened when I tried to run wine to see if I could get it to run M$ stuff... ain't gonna touch that again!
