Slipstream in ME??

Oh, I've just realised that the 650GB I mentioned should have been 680GB
(3x200GB + 1x80GB). Try hanging that lot off Win Me. g

Funny you should mention that, as I have a spare 30GB drive sitting about!
:-)

You know in Fawlty Towers when John Cleese squats down and wraps his head in
his arms in dispair? That's kind of how I feel looking at a 30GB drive and
thinking they can fit 200GB in there now!

OK.....dibs on the 80 GB....just priced one today.

Found another tech and he only charges $70? (prices downstairs) for 40 GB,
$99 for 80.....and $60 to install Windows on it.

This guy actually knows the difference between XP Upgrade & Home.....lol.
He is going to do the diagnosis for CyberPower coz...

a) I trust him.....
b) he is just around the corner.....
c) his prices are better. (G)

Only 5 gig more to back up......getting tired of this. Done 8 CD's so far.
(8 x 700 = 5600 meg - 5.6 gig......sigh) Not to mention the Data one. I
think the most tedious part is re-arranging the folders to fit and by genre.

850MHz. OK it's not pre-historic but could use the increased speed on
occassion.

two main PCs may differ from the norm is the amount of HD disk space
on each (500GB on one and 650GB on the other). :-)

Jeez, Mike, you got the human genome on there or something???

Just the odd video capture. :-) Much of it is "work in progress". As it
happens one of the 200GB drives on this box was bought as an emergency
replacement when I lost a drive due to over heating and I needed a similar
size drive to aid in data recovery. Since then the original drive is back
working OK and sitting here essentially empty (actually it's backing up
another drive).

Joan,

I suppose Nottingham was (and indeed is) on the East Coast Main Line -
seeing as how Grantham was apparently one of the fast bits. I guess
you'd
have seen the Flying Scotsman?

Hi Son......yep, it is a pain. And probably when I get them all done, the
diagnosis will be OK. But better to back them up. Didn't realize I had
that many mp3's.....usually just play them on here. Which is perfectly
legal, in case our resident Canadian kvetcher says anything. For my own use
and enjoyment.....period.

Go see the doc for your ingrown toenail......or soak it in gin and
tonic.....or should that be "drink" the G & T and to heck with the toe. (G)

lol Among others, and it's not too far from where we lived before
moving to Wales. I did actually live in Loughborough for a few years
during my first marriage.

I can't help but shudder when I think about how much it cost ten years ago
when I bought (for work of course) a Dell box that was to run as our
departmental server and it was equipped with 2x600MB and 2x1.2GB scsi hard
drive. A whopping 3.6GB in total and that for disk storage not RAM. :-)
To think that 10 years later I'm working with video files that can be 2 or
3 times the size.
