Hi John,
Your guesses are correct. It would be nice if the new drive could have
an image of the old one, so it would work immediately. i don't know if
the errors are due to defects in the disk platters or to problems with
the controller. The machine is behaving normally now, but every few days
Not all that far from you as places go. In Iowa.

I agree. If he needs this level of support, you want actually a fair
amount of Linux knowledge, enough to correctly setup brltty to come up

I happen to be in Madison and I've already offered to upgrade John's

I am guessing John's problem would be with 2 things. First, he'd want
linux with braille installed on the new hard drive. Second, he'd want
his files copied from the old hard drive. Both of those things would
take some knowledge of linux. Maybe not a lot, but some.

Hi, John:
I agree with your preference for taking your machine to a Linux shop.

I don't think you'd need a linux shop specifically, just a good computer store

anyone know of a good Linux shop in Madison, Wisconsin?
Thanks,
John
