Over the weekend I managed to completely blow away my hard drive. It wouldn't boot, it wouldn't talk to my ST at all, even when I ran AHDI from floppy. Wouldn't do _nuthin'_. ~60 meg, gone, all gone. Would you beleive that this has a happy ending? I had just made backups 2 days earlier, and hadn't done anything since. (Well, I'd done a little, but it was easily recoverable). I didn't lose anything except the 4 hours it took me to reformat and restore my harddrive. Moral: It can happen to you. It will happen to you. Unless you have good backups, you are scr*wed. Unless you have an easy way to make them, you won't have good backups. Get a good backup system, _now_. The buns you save may be your own. -- |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--alex | alex@Atherton.COM | Caution! Falling Opinions, next 6 miles | | "Ha!
