2012 - the end of the world?

A belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone. And this one started out with a bang!
Close to the end of 2011, my computer started acting up. It would fail to start windows when turned on, when put to sleep it would not awaken, explorer always crashing and other niggling things that just did not seem right! I ran virus scans, etc but no use. At the start of week 2 of 2012, it crashed. Nothing except looping into the start in safe mode screen.
I took it in and it seems I contracted a virus. How, I don't know. I am always careful not to visit questionable sites and my security rating is set to high!
Got the unit back yesterday and they had to wipe the hard drive clean. I now have to reinstall everything - only if I can find the installation discs and the @#%&*$# security codes!
But it's along weekend in Cayman so I will do the best I can.
And of course there is the end of the world scenario - if you believe the Mayans!
Just have to make my mind up if I am going to be a good boy this year or get in all sorts of trouble! :-)
Plans for this year are more traveling and photography. Complete a few house projects that have been started and do need finishing - including a new radio/electronics dungeon that it mine, all mine! Part of hurricane preparations and the ability to communicate with the outside world!
