... and L7 once again FAILS

Yesterday I had MySQL up and running on my overpriced WindoesNT laptop as provided by MegaCorp Inc.  I logged in/out/in/out both as root and a user.  I pulled in my ginormous database that I had saved from my old burn.  I entered data, set up queries and forms in LibreOffice Base.   All appeared to be working fine.  I was a happy user.


Last night I shut down.  Restart the machine in the morning.... login denied.  No MySQL access.  Denied.  Hopefully I can find a way to get my data back, but regardless that was the last straw and it's official:


I HATE WINDOWS 7.


This is probably due to UAC resetting on a reboot, but no matter what: data loss is unacceptable... and since I can't get to the data, it counts as lost.  No matter what, erratic behavior is frustrating as hell for a user.  This "feature" of resetting UAC on reboots is a built-in frustration.


Next plan is to bring in my cheap-O linux box and do all my real work on it.
