The mess people get them self into is unbelievable at times. You knew the
system had no disc, you couldn't see your way clear to make a recovery disc,
you couldn't see your way to activate the product, and you can't see your
way to call the vendor of the computer to seek help, which should be under
some kind of software warrantee.
