Sure; no problem, but I want more. BTW, most of you already
know this, but it bears re-stating: even memory and drives that
have been well pounded can go bad after N months. That's only
happened to me onnce (with memory); a few times with drives.
But failures are more likely in the first several days to a week
or so. No sense in eating a loss if testing will increase my
odds... .
