Fences and product keys...

Well I managed to get out for a quick walk in the sun this morning (during which I snapped this old fence). This is just as well as I spent the rest of my morning on the phone with Windows technical support trying to get my product key to work with Windows Activate.

I used the code twice previously with no problems but now apparently it could only be used as an upgrade key, not on a clean install. Sigh. Anyway, I eventually got hold of a very helpful Indian man who sorted it all for me (it involved the whole nine yards, remote assist and everything). Suffice it to say my arm and ear were very sore by the end of it.
