Chuck, I owe you, and am glad to lend some computer assistance when you are able to put in a new hard drive (you can get quite a lot of bang for today's buck BTW). Hope you had any critical data on the old one backed up... :-) Call me, Rich 801-785-4403 home (lindon) 801-553-6629 work (draper) --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:
Everyone, my home computer died a horrible, noisy death last night as the bearings on my hard-drive seized up. I no longer have email at home. In coming weeks, as time permits, I will try and ressurect my old computer, but as it has no modem and the budget is bleak this soon after Christmas, I may not be able get it on-line anytime soon.
In the meantime, I will try and stay subscribed to my lists, but know that I will not be able to reply on weeknights and about half the weekends. I'm sure some of you are thanking your deity at this point.
The monitor died last week, and the failure of the computer itself this week smacks of "planned obsolescence". It was only 2 years old, far too young to die! My advice: Stay away from HP hardware, it is just as much the devil as Mr. Gates.
If I can be of help, don't hesitate to call me at home in the evenings: 801-969-5647.
Chuck
