At random: “What wordy praise can one give such men as these; men who … follow unhesitatingly when in the vicinity of minefields so long as there is the possibility of targets … Men who flinch not with the fathometer ticking off two fathoms beneath the keel … Men who will fight to the last bullet and then start throwing the empty shell cases. These are submariners.” - Eugene Fluckey in his final war patrol report aboard USS Barb

Apparently my hard drive on my main computer died this morning.
Working off my laptop now.
I have the 'puker in the shop for a hard drive recovery (if that is possible, yet to be known). I had just about completed another very interesting update and now, if the recovery isn't possible, I'll have to try and recreate it. Keep your fingers crossed!

Just like the pile of dead hard drives from Windows machines I saw while at the shop. Learned that after 3 years 30% of hard drive are probably going to fail.
Actually I got a call from the shop yesterday afternoon. Hard Drive is fine!!! No data lost. (Gotta start backing up more often.) Mother board had the memory blow up. Part of the issue is the whole old Dell 521 I'm using is just wearing out. Get the machine back today sometime.

The beast is home with all new motherboard memory. Hard drive is intact and all data safe.

My PC is at least a dozen years old.   500 gig back up (USB) drive is 9ish years old.  All OEM drives still.   Did I mention I had a back up drive???

1 external HD connected via USB; Subscription to Carbonite; 2 portable HD's for manual backup & offline storage. Yep, I'm paranoid about my data. We TMs are smart about things like that.

I have an external drive that I back up to periodically. Fortunately the HD was OK it was the condensers for the Motherboard memory that was bad. They replaced 9 of them to be safe. 'puker works like a champ how.

I haven't heard 'capacitors' called 'condensers' that in eons.  Are you sure they didn't change points in your distributor?

We TMs call them "capacitors," or "caps" for short. I even called them that when I taught Electronics 101. [snark, snark] :)
