Thumbs up The 2nd IBM Deathstar died last week

Cheers to whoever gave me the warning on those useless metal beer mats.

New Maxtor was bought and prepared with all the software ready to swap when I had the time before it failed.

Typically it went **** up on my day off

But most stuff was backed up and is safe

Been there, done that - on a five month old drive. Luckily it was the Linux test bed so not terminal.
