Scott --- Didn't totally forget you and your two requests ... I left you off my answer list til I had a chance to do some checking and I can find nothing concerning the Japanese translation thing. The last email I got from you was only three days ago and there was nothing like that there. Perhaps it is one of your "strange friends" who is pulling your leg ..... you do have some strange friends, do you not ? should you not have ..... I have some I will loan you even tho I wouldn't loan you any bullets the other day....... Better yet, I'll GIVE you some ...... like the soda water bottles .. no deposit no return. And with the HD ... I really like WD, even tho you and your dad both lost them nearly at the same time. In the machines that I'm very familiar with and have had my hands on or at least my eyeballs on ... appx 300 boxes ... WD and Seagate have been the most reliable with the fewest problems. All in all, the HD itself has been the least troublesome hardware area when you consider the use factor. Now, one factor which comes into play with my experience is that most HDs, in the boxes I have anything to do with, are replaced in normally three years due to size limitations .... of the ones in my house and in Marilyn's office ... there are only 3 machines out of 15 with HDs older than 4 years and all 3 of them have WDs inside. So I guess that I'm of no help .... unless you want me to send you some strange friends.......
