I'm glad I am using the Macintosh operating system (9.1)
because I just let my E-mail client download the messages in the
background while I browsed the Internet. I batch deleted the useless
messages later.
The click of death was the issue...I heard about it several
years ago. As I remember Iomega did not react very well at first.
Will they replace the "click of death" affected drive?
