Our wonderful new HP computer apparently came with a nice lame hard-drive. It has taken a few months but the thing has decided to keel over and play dead (well mostly it just runs 20 times slower than normal).

So I may be offline more than ussual.

Just an FYI.

Jim, do yourself a big favor and purchase another one of those drives and set up a RAID 1.
