Ack! Perhaps I spoke too soon. The NTI BackupNow program allows verification, but the test backup I tried verified fine, but could not read one file on the restore. I'll have to play around with some different media. It also does not allow a quick erase with a CD-RW disc on backup, insisting on...

CougTek, I have this wonderful image of the Terminator from your avatar crossed with the Tazmanian Devil from Looney Tunes just after he spins in drooling, chest heaving, mouse cord dangling from his mouth. (Hope you know these characters :P ) Sorry it didn't work out for you; drawing with the...

Thinking a little more carefully, of course you're right. I do suffer somewhat from newer, bigger, faster-for-no-good-reason when it comes to computer stuff. That software looks good, thanks! :D

Excellent! If you find yourself doing a lot of graphics stuff, maybe try a tablet for input. I've only used a cheapie Wacom tablet, but it's way better than a mouse for drawing. Now if only I could draw well! :o

I'm interested to hear what is proposed here, I'm looking into this right now for our company (I'm on the other side of the counter so-to-speak). I've got 5 branches ranging from 2 to 15 computers, and for 4 of these branches I'm only worried about backing up email data and minor...

CougTek, have you tried Corel Draw instead of PhotoPaint? In PhotoPaint you're working with pixels and layers, and you have to create masks and then feather them, etc. in order to fill just a portion of the image. With Draw you work with vectors and nodes, and each object you create is an...

Maybe try http://www.deskmod.com ? I don't use XP, so I haven't looked for this specifically, but they seem to have a gabillion other things, and links to many more.

Just to confuse matters, my Panasonic PV-7451 stopped behaving prematurely so I bought a Sony SLVN55 to replace, which is OK so far (1.5 years). I suppose it depends on what sort of lifetime you expect from these sorts of things. They do seem to be more and more like disposable razors. Like...

Bach. Goldberg Variations. Gould or Perahia. Sublime music that you can allow to wash over you, or complex enough to fill the nights with study. As long as the batteries don't konk out. Or is it solar power?

This sort of stuff just amazes me. I have a hard enough time figuring how to replace a post in my house. :o

I've used an Asus A7V for a while now with 2 drives ATA100 controller and a CD and tape on one channel and a CDR on the other channel of the UDMA66 controller. Works fine for me, but the tape is a second backup system and I don't use it that much.

from the madhouse thread: I think it was from the Redhill SR status page that I had bookmarked not long after SR had the db loss (I'm going from memory, I'm at work now and this was on my home machine). I was cleaning up my bookmarks, and popped by to have a look.

James can you help? I'm sure that 14 is more than 13.

Hee. No no no. The Antigonishians (?) are alphabetically challenged?

Actually, Tabula Rasa was the first Pärt recording I picked up (Gidon Kremer on ECM vinyl in...wait a sec, I'll check...Sep '95! Oh no, can't be that long ago!) JKKJ stares wistfully into the sky as a time flies/I'm getting old moment goes by. I like the space in these pieces, they're just not...

Just noticed.

That's what I mean. I was too young to catch the disco stuff, and became aware of music just at the end of the seventies (I'm pushing it a little: London Calling came out Dec of '79 in the UK - I just checked - must've been the '80s here in Canada) but that stuff is from the 70's in my brain...

The Clash's London Calling was released in the '70s too, but that probably doesn't really qualify either. Odd how consensus is formed with this sort of thing. I think back to the seventies as the time of punk, but I know that's not the general understanding of the term and has more to do with me...

Yes. My North Shore's on the other side.

Ahh, I see. Congrats! :)

A+ ?

Ahh, an large cellar. Excellent. Funny, I noticed a couple of hard drives sitting in the closet while I was working on my house today. Why are they there? Where did they come from? They're not in my system, I've really no idea what's on them, or when they became inactive. I never used to be...

Well, The Giver's been drinking elsewhere then.

I'm currently drinking wine from New Zealand, hope that's OK. Cheers!

I am real, and I wear my socks with pride. This is better, thanks. By way of introduction, my first computer was an XT, and things were hobby-ish until I put my hand up when someone at work asked if anyone knew about computers around 386-time. So now in addition to managing at a commercial...

Errr... as a newcomer, this thread is not doing a lot to help make sense of things. That being said, it is nice to find you here. I had followed many of you on SR, mostly I just lurked and learned a bunch. After the big burp there, I moved on to other things. For whatever reason I tracked this...

billshit...I like that... I initially thought to suggest manually deleting the windows update object in IE settings. I do this routinely at home..well...just because, so I can't see if it makes a difference right now. I'm on W2K/5.0SP2. I'll have a look at work tomorrow. I went to...
