Re: It's alive!

We were expecting snow but it missed us completely. Oh well.

I must say people said the IBM Deskstar was reliable and they were right. I bought it in 1999 and clocked a good 85,000 hours. It has been degrading for months now but I didn't realize just how slow it had gotten. It took some effort to copy and I lost some data but amazingly everything's working. Hard drives sure have gotten quieter in the past 12 years!

Thanks for the update, Vimm. I figured there was either a server issue of some sort, or your region in general was experiencing problems with online service (which often plagues states when natural disasters hit them).
