Francis -

This impresses me. I have observed over the past year or so that your moves have tended to be quite well timed. Now I feel even more certain that the twenties have been left behind, and the price will continue to trend upward.

Also, I'm glad to hear that the Jaz helped you out of a jam with your Mac. Recently, I decided to upgrade the SCSI driver on my wife's Power Computing Mac clone to the latest, OS8-compatible one. The new driver required a larger driver partition, so I couldn't use the automatic upgrade program.

Instead, I simply copied everything from her hard drive to a Jaz disk, booted from the Jaz, reformatted the hard drive with the new driver, and copied everything back. It was painless, and her system has been much more stable since we upgraded the driver.

Don't try this on your Windows 95 or NT machines, folks. It would be a much more complex and painful process. Sometimes I'm really tempted to bag my PC and get a machine that runs a sensible OS.
