Wouldn't it be nice to be able to show all fields, but have certain fields show up in the left-most columns so you don't have to window to the right to find them? Search400.com member Steve Landess shares how easily it can be done. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci931179,00.html?track=NL-177 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= USING BRMS ON V5R2 | Ken Graap, recovery advice Dear Ken, How do you append data to the same tape cartridge? Our backup frequency is once a month, but we're putting one year's worth on the same tape cartridge. BRMS likes to go get a new volume each time instead of using the same cartridge.

The company has loaded its ThinkPad notebooks with a chip that senses when the computer is accelerating. And when a computer accelerates, it's rarely a good thing. The quick-thinking chip acts like a kind of airbag -- it activates right before impact and protects the hard drive's read/write head until the commotion is over. So go ahead, drop that ThinkPad! It's okay. But if you spill coffee on the keyboard, you're still hosed.
