Thank you. Some of our geezers are still acting like the hard drive was the weakest component in the system, but this is no longer the case. Today any one of the components is equally likely to go. So replication is your best bet. However, it won't help you with "soft" errors that are far more likely than "hard" errors. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
