Oh, OK. Don't forget to get a receipt for your tax return, then.

Indeed, not a lot of choice there. :-) Southampton.

LOL, I hope there have been other sysadmins available who have managed a
backup. :-)
A crashed hard drive, though, is a great way to clear the cruft off the
drive. It's just too bad it takes the other stuff away as well.
I was installing X-Plane (a really good flight sim) on my system here,
and ran out of disk space; installing all the scenery requires 70 GB of
space (it comes on 6 DL DVDs). I started digging through the drive and
found a whole bunch of old junk I no longer needed.
Probably better than a hard drive crash, too. :-)
