Everything they make now a days, seems like quality going down. I had problems with DVI to VGA adapters, bot new ones from the store one was bad out of the box. After unplugging my monitors one adapter just would not work anymore, I had a spare and that one was toast too. Made in China crap.

Deep stuff only in scale. Some of the things I'm doing involve typing maybe a dozen characters, hitting Enter, and waiting a couple of hours for it to get done. Don't you just hate things that rewrite the boot sector? When I set up our previous db server, Dell assured me I could add drives to the array without losing data. They assured me wrong. I ended up doubling the capacity and I could've done so without losing data. If I didn't care to actually use the extra capacity I'd added. An hours-long low-level format that resulted in empty drives.
