I had a problem with one computer store. Apparently they felt nothing of copying games from peoples computers. The guy said "hell most of them are illegal copies that we are copying". I was pissed. Nothing on my machine is an illegal copy. And one of the games they copied was an unreleased beta that I had signed a non-disclosure contract on. >> <personal note> >> A friend of mine was over in Napa when another person dropped off their >> computer for recycling.

I added a USB external drive dock to my xmas wishlist. I would like to recover old programming code and such, then reformat them. Maybe even use them like floppies for making backups. http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fregistry%2Fwishlist%2FXK5Y1Y775VOW&tag=anyonecannet-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957 Gandalf Parker -- MY WIFE LIKES ME TO PLAY MMORPGs.
