Well, it continues to live....seems to be getting sicker and sicker, but I won't let it die.

Last week, the harddrive gave me trouble. While reformatting and restoring from backup had it working, I had ordered a new Seagate 7200.9 120GB drive to replace the old 5400RPM Samsung 120GB drive. As it turned out the old Samsung drive was 120.1GB and the new Seagate is 120.0GB, at least according to the BIOS auto-detect.

The Retrospect restoration when smoother and faster, only because I knew the steps better now.

This was supposed to be the weekend that I upgrade the 120GB SATA drive in my desktop with a 500GB SATA drive, but that will probably wait until the next long weekend now. Hopefully, one that I'm not on call for. Since it was lucky, because I had to do some remote system work this morning...

Meanwhile, I did slip away at least to take the plunge to get new shades

Hopefully, they'll arrive in time for the upcoming trip (my brother is getting married).
