At the risk of been seen as a wimp, but I am doing all my admin work under Linux using the midnight commander (mc). It's a norton clone, that gives you a two window view of the files and also viewers and an editor. Does do the job quite well for me. Johannes On 5/12/05, gLaNDix (Jesse Kaufman)

My 350 card died quite shortly after I got it. I was still in the setup phase and got thrown into a similar situation where the thing did not work and was wondering whether I broke something. But it was RMAd without problems and runs fine since then. On 4/26/05, Jason Werpy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am quite happy with my Artic Cooling kit. It is quieter than my HD. But also the lower power consumption of my mobile Athlon helps. Avoiding heat is always better that to fight getting rid of the heat. On 4/21/05, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 4/20/05, Phill Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

My experiance with HD backup is not so good. Usually you have only one drive that holds one backup (maybe two). But what can happen is that a disk goes down slowly and has failures that you copy to your backup before you notice that. The HD backup is not helping then, because you only have the

In addition the power supply takes a lot power even if the CPU does not need it. Those PSUs are so cheap made that they don't care about reducing power if in idle. Also the losses of the PSUs are quite high (30-40% of max power) On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 11:02:54 -0500, David George [EMAIL PROTECTED]
