When you have that sinking feeling while muttering "oh crap! oh crap! oh crap!" you know you've messed up in ways that defy common sense, I always make a habit to limit these moments. What was on the drive? important stuff? do you have a copy of the keys backed up somewhere? Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
