That copy of XP was for 1 time use only, provided by the department (university). He also forget about that. What happened today was funnier. It still had 24 days left. I thought i would save my files over weekend. And reinstall XP or whatever. But the windows will not log in. Either i have to activate or log out. I reinstalled XP thinking it will not mess up my files, but .... anyways i will work on my two term papers all over again. I did not like my earlier work anyway...lol I guess i will not have much time to pass on sajha now.
