My you ask a lot of questions :D

No need to rename the windows dir if you plan on installing to a different dir, right?
Logically speaking :D

Send it to me, I'll fix it for you.

Keep it, you'll need it to help pay for your certs.

Obviously she isn't paying by the hour, nobody could afford you at an hourly rate :D

Go for the money. If she likes you, you'll get a date anyway :)

Make a little batch file that'll mess up her boot at a certain date, then you can fix it again, just in case she doesn't go for the date the first time lol :D jk

4GB of documents?

You don't need to burn the entire drive, just her important data, favs, email etc.

Don't go spreading that around. Some may get the wrong impression of me, and make the mistake of thier life.

I have a big heart, not a soft underbelly. Sensitivity can turn a man to mush, and it can make him rock hard, and cold as ice. I've been the nicest guy you'd ever want to know, and I've been someones worst nightmare.

My size is irrelevant Jim :p
