0100 Sunday....

I thought I would give you guys a giggle... Two hours ago both of my Ext hard drives fell over badly (160GB Iomega USB 2.0 and 300GB Firewire Maxtor) and I am still here now while I reformat both into NTFS and thank my lucky stars that they were used for backup and not pure archiving.

They went simultaneously and I am working hard to fathom the cause. So far, I am a lucky chappie, 'cos I archive all important stuff to DVD - just in case... Mind you if it all catches fire tonight, the only positive thing I will have left, is that I can at least stay warm.


Yours, by the width of a fag paper,


Conan
