Look what I found!

Well, my laptop is really clean now, with not even a vestige of pirated stuff left. Reformatted it and reinstalled XP, hoping to install Solaris 10 as my OS also.

When I shared with Yeu Ann yesterday when we met up, I mentioned that even as I decided to delete all my pirated software, it did occur to me that some of them were useful and their function necessary (eg. I really need a photo manipulation software like Photoshop). But that concern did not sway me from my decision. Instead, as I told YA, I had this assurance that as I did the right thing, God will provide for me.

Imagine how pleased I was to discover that IBM includes a copy of my favourite anti-virus software - Norton AntiVirus - on the original Recovery CDs! It seems that NUS uninstalled it, installing the campus-wide Trend-Micro OfficeScan, and that's why I never knew all along that I owned a copy of Norton! I certainly didn't know when I went about uninstalling stuff. Haha, the pirated copy I had was the 2002 version. Now I have the 2004 version legitimately! God is good...

Haha... yes, amen! God is good all the time... reminds me of this verse - His promise: "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." :) aMeN! XD
