And everything's there. The new Ben&Janni novel is intact. *breathes giant sigh of relief*

Now, I just have to reload all my programs:
Avast antivirus
Webshots (Oh, hai, Robert, golly I missed you)
VLC media player (slowest download EVER OMG--I finally gave up and found a different mirror, because, dude)
