The Talk2 List maxtore drives
Hi all. I have just found a maxtore drie going cheap at harvy norman. about 170 bucks for 500gb. I know there are bad things with these drives but I don't know what. are they prone to falier I was origionally going to go with a westerndigital or a sigate, both because I have had a wd arc whos case has died and another because my friend has a sigate which is real quiet almost non existant. I need something that will store data, its going to be a secondary backup, ie the drive will get data put on it and then after every 6 months or so I will power it on to transfer stuff over. I hope to replace the case on my primary western digital and run it into the ground. I will be a heavy user of either drive though. so they need to last a long time. OI don't mind if the case power supply or case controler goe but I want something that will not easily break with switches, etc and will stand a reasonable ammount of abuse and ware. Ok so I am not going to drop it and I will try not to take it away with me to much if at all, howeverI don't want it to die for no reason just like if I pick it off the desk and say forget to switch it off or something screwy like that not that will happen however. I know the western digital drives will power down when not in use, so something that will do that or is so quiet that I won't notice it running. Did you miss a message? Well, don't. http://www.mail-archive.com/talk2%40andrelouis.com/ has it for you. Never miss a Talk2 message again.

Once you get your data on your new maxtor drive, don't bother backing it up anywhere else, because it will never die or develop bad sectors. shaun everiss wrote: Hi all.

Re: The Talk2 List Hey, guys!
I figured that's what you had to do. I'm trying to make my own little sound scheme, just for the fun of it. On 4/16/2009 1:58 PM, Derek Lane wrote: Did you asign sounds to events?

Re: The Talk2 List Hey, guys!
Sounds not saying hello? Hmm. Sounds don't usually talk to you unless you explicitly tell them to. I have no sounds that hello at me, because I personally find the concept rather offensive. Dumb question: have you actually assigned any events? There are none assigned by default, unless you're using a pre-packaged Miranda, like the one Andre has been passing around for the last couple of years. rainee wrote: I finally got Miranda set up on this computer.

Re: The Talk2 List Hey, guys!
Patrick, all I can say is I'm still a technological doob. Andre, I didn't even know you had a preconfigured Miranda. I probably could have saved myself a lot of annoyance. I'm slowly, extremely slowly, figuring this thing out, but I'm far from out of the woods. On 4/16/2009 4:17 PM, Patrick Perdue wrote: Sounds not saying hello? Hmm.

Re: The Talk2 List Hey, guys!
So what do I do with the version already downloaded? On 4/16/2009 5:09 PM, Onj wrote: Hi. http://onj1.andrelouis.com/programs look there, for MirandaPreconfigured.exe. being portable, the exe is not an installer, but a self-extracting archive so you simply extract it, run it from wherever you wish, and set up the options. Upon first run, you will have to skip the import/export wizard by simply hitting escape, then entering the options with control shift o. This can of course be changed at a later date. Also, you wil, just once, have to click use classic mode with the Jaws cursor, because otherwise the new option layout is not accessible to you. Differences from the version found on the site are, from the top of my head: *created sounds for the most popular events, such as online, offline, incoming file transfer, file failed, weather alert *added message logging to files on a per contact basis, (see miranda\MsgExport for details) *allows auto-accept of files from your contacts, using a per contact directory scheme, such as miranda\received files\an...@andrelouis.com, assuming you were to receive a file from me for example *added weather plugin to give weather for your city and others you may choose *added the ability to announce online/offline contacts using SAPI through the speak.dll, must be configured by the user *added voice-chat capability to Miranda through the use of MirandaCOM, which allows other users with Miranda and said plugin to communicate, this being equivalent to Microsoft's voice-chat in Windos Live! That's all I can think of, probably others but that's a start. Download is just about 4 megabites. Any problems, contact me offlist for further help, though I am getting married this Saturday so will be extremely busy this weekend. In any case, I will do my best to respond to your queeries (if any) in a timely manner.

Re: The Talk2 List Hey, guys!
Dono, remove it, kill it, eat it for breakfast. It doesn't really matter particularly. Just make sure it isn't running when you set the other one up.
