Daddy - where does the motherboard go again? and why is there no “daddyboard”?

Well, my mother-in-law has requested that we build her a new PC and I could think of no one better for the job than my 4 year old!

Yes he did indeed mount all the screws for the motherboard and helped to install the DDRAM & Hard Drives.  Hopefully, John-John was able to grasp the concept of grounding himself before touching sensitive computer circuitry!

Well, there has been some discussion of this around the net (but not as much as I would have thought)  ..

Recently (after 8 months of very satisified Vista experiences), I went to initiate a manual “Disc Cleanup” from the standard “Drive”->”Properties” menu.  Much to my horror, after selecting to run a standard “Disc Cleanup”, Vista was good enough to delete the entire contents of my Desktop in addition to every other file in my “C:\Users\John” folder.  Despite being heavily protected by backups, this still caused a nightmare as my Vista installation refused to restart after a reboot.  Even Vista’s repair options on the install DVD did not rectify the situation.  I have yet to see any formal recognition of this by Microsoft.
