I've had a d620 for a few months now....I'm liking it
I figured it out, got started burning stuff to another computer's DVD drive across the network.
Maxtor ftl!The best investment for my rig as a back up was to get a 300 gig Maxtor network drive. Family digital photos go on it and all of my back ups.
lol maxtor
Maxtors in a Raid 0 That isnt even something I'd risk. One drive kicks the bucket and you've lost everything. One of the drives on this machine is the same 100GB Western Digital I got on black friday 2003, 4 years of constant read/write and it still runs fine. No corruption or anything.
Only during my most hardcore of role playing game phases have I ever had to use a d620. It was machined out of solid aluminum and took a full thirty feet to roll to a stop. I had to rent a fucking uhaul to move it to the playing site and ended up burying it after the gaming session due to the storage costs inherent in owning such a thing.
my buddy was head project manager on the maxtor 250gb HD project like 3 years ago... he told me to never by a drive over 80gb from maxtor.
and FG: why don't you disable the guest account and create an account with no priveledges for other people to use?
I am a huge fan of BSD because I used to have a seperate computer running as a router. It is awesomely awesome and I was finally getting proficient using it. The problem is I run primarily MS only programs, e.g. Autocad, so using it as a desktop is just useless and dual boot creates more problems than it solves.aaarrrrrrrrr matey, why don't you go find yourself a copy?
or install debian, that'll really piss them off.
