Reply-To: wlug@mail.wlug.org HI everybody, I've been out of touch all week due to a catastrophic hard drive failure. My hard drive is only 1.5 years old and its an IBM Ultrastar 18 GB SCSI drive with a 5 year warranty. IBM/Hitachi will be getting it back assuming it fails their diags, which I have to run as a prerequisite to getting an RMA. Naturally, they are DOS based diags. They have incredibly fussy rules about packing the drive for shipment, lest one voids one's warranty (say that three times fast). Believe it or not, it died while I was doing the tape backup!! I lost about 1 weeks worth of Quicken transactions and the photos from my sister's wedding (which I can recover from CDs previously burned for other family members). I got lucky. The moral of the story is: Make sure you do your backups! This is the 2nd hard drive that I've lost in the last 12 months (the first one was over 5 years old). Or, just run most of your machines as LTSP clients and don't worry about disks..... :-) Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org --__--__-- Message: 3 charset="us-ascii" From: Andy Stewart <andystewart@comcast.net> Organization: Worcester Linux Users' Group To: "Worcester Linux Users' Group" <wlug@mail.wlug.org> Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2003 01:54:55 -0400 Subject: [Wlug] Wanted: Used monitor Reply-To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Hi everybody, I'm looking for a used monitor as a spare for my basement lab bench: 14" or 15" Multi sync Capable of at least 1024x768 at 72 Hz (or better) Relatively good cosmetic condition Excellent working condition Cheap(!)
