They sent loog's copy to me instead of directly to him. So I thought
that instead of paying more to send his along, I'd order another.
Maybe thse guys will get the addresses right.
Sounds funny, but smell the packaging.. Heavy incense smell, wonder
what they were hiding, frekin' hippies
HA! I don't know,but you're came from Iowas, Loog's was from all
places ...CANADA!
No wonder it came to me.

I'm fascinated by your reportage of Herring's finding a boxguy to build
him a computer. Typically these days one takes that route because one
wants to save a few bucks and build up a desktop unit that is faster in
many ways or unique compared to a dell or whatever. There's nothing
Herring ever indicated here that would reveal his need for anything more
than an Atari 400. Plus, he has a BestBuy a few miles away.

Hell, I might have given him one of my spares. I think it important to
help the handicapped.- Hide quoted text -

How's the ram, hdd, and video card going on that snerk "server"...
er, uh, backup computer.. BJ's has a 1 TB firewire on sale for $129...

My old desktop was successfully transformed into a server, and is
working properly. I left two gigs of RAM on the motherboard, and will
use the two gigs I pulled off it elsewhere. At the moment, it has two
500 gig SATA drives in it, which is more than sufficient for its
intended purpose.

HP has updated its Home Server software to more easily accommodate Macs,
and I'm experimenting with it now. At the moment, I usually back up
myMacbook Pro to a dedicated LACIE drive via Firewire 800. My HP Homer
Server is not the same machine as my server project.

When I set up my new Mac desktop machine later this week, I'll probably
have it back up to the Homer Server.

Gosh, to think I did all this without the need ot consult the newgroup
computer idiot. That would be...you.
