First of all, I want to congratulate everyone for the wonderful wins against Napoli, Verona and Itland. I was absent all the time from Second Life, but I was with you, checking SNN's results when I could. I knew all along how good a team we are, that we could qualify and we had it in us all the time and that the first match against Verona was a sad accident, which was not entirely our fault. I want to express my congratulations towards all the players who fought to win and worked hard to become better.
Secondly, I think I owe everyone an explanation for my absence these weeks. I had and still have a very big problem with my computer's hard disk. It seems to have become infected by a very powerful virus, about three weeks ago and nothing that I tried solved the problem. I am not a computer beginner so I did
try a lot of things, and used a lot of powerful software tools, but to understand the gravity of the situation, I can't format it or I can't partition it
. It seems that the File Allocation Table is either physically damaged (which I don't think is the case, because i never move my hard disk around) or infected with a powerful boot virus which resides in the BIOS also, because erasing the MBR and the FAT doesn't work. I don't want to spend money on another hard disk because I really think the cause is not physical here. And I am very sad that I couldn't join you in the games that our team played all this period. I am now using Linux Boot CD which enables me to connect to the internet because it creates a virtual drive where it installs itself. But I cannot install anything permanent here, I just have to reinstall the system every time I reboot (my RAM is only 1 GB). I'll try to fix the problem as soon as possible so I can play with SNN again.
I miss all the team very much. Please fight and win with Roma! We are the best!
During my absence, I nominate Cyndee Sheperd for the post of second coach. Of course, Tarcisio Ibanez should be captain in my absence, if he's not there Moore Tone should take his place.
