Well, I'm finally going to have to wipe my main workstation and reinstall - is it just me or is there always the creeping doubt that you've forgot to back something up? I was just reading a [post on Pachal's blog](http://weblogs.asp.net/pleloup/archive/2004/09/28/235179.aspx) about the [Community Server](http://www.communityserver.org/) stuff (which is where .TEXT has moved to). [Rob Howard](http://weblogs.asp.net/rhoward) left a comment there reassuring us that there'd always be a free version of the CommunityServer products available (so, [.TEXT](http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/dottext), [nGallery](http://www.ngallery.org/)and [ASP.NET forums](http://forums.asp.net/) as were...)...which is nice... Ah well, once I get my worksatation back up I can get on with attempting to destroy my blog's code ![](smile2_661EAC32.gif)
