hmm... time to start wearing safety googles at the computer? Or put the computer in a safe location ;) I've heard of the posbility of this happening with the high speed CD ROM drives these days, usually if a Disc has a crack in it or other signs of wear, although until today I had never heard of it actually happening. Least I'm not the only one with computer problems this week. I got in to work this morning, one computer's hard drive decided to up and die, no warning signs whatsoever. Then there's my home computer with a 120 gig hard drive sounding like it wants to die, but luckily hasn't yet, need to get my data backed up ASAP. Ia anyone else running into more problems than usual lately? Just curious. -Joel --- Randy Clarksean <rclark at lakesplus.com> wrote: > Had a very interesting experience this past week.
