Is it me or are your drives always failing, lol? It seems almost a yearly thing that I see you post it somewhere that xxx drive failed.

It's hard though...I have several computers in parts/pieces, and a couple of complete towers. I have two 486 models sitting in the closet, not sure what for, but...I've got one pop out cd rom that's kinda cool, but it's way slower than what I need for this rig. However, if I ever do get into the position to build my own, I won't have to invest in a lot of the parts, got a cd/dvd rom that writes cd's, a cd rom that writes, and a ton of floppy drives. I've got a 40 gig harddrive that's serving as a back up, more or less. It's not connected to the computer. When I took the new one out of the box, and got all the files transferred, I put the old in the box the new one came in. If I crash the new one, I'll have the spare.

All that heat's great if it's winter up my way .....but not so great in Florida, I imagine! :D

We've got a few bits and pieces lying around in the basement and my study, but for the most part I got hubby to toss or give away things we don't expect to need or use in future. I think we probably have some of those ribbon cables floating about the house, though!

Glad it's fixed, Z! We had some fun in the Undermountain over the holiday! And I got to give Choc his catnip...I love that! [img]graemlins/kittynow.gif[/img]
