[techtalk] swtiching rhat drives . . .

[Walt]

Thank you all! :-)

I know am completely unsure of what to do! (jk!)

Actually, I can't do anything until the 18 gb drive I ordered
arrives in a day or two. 

I'll let you know how it goes!

    Civilization is the encouragement of differences.  Civilization
    thus becomes a synonym for democracy.  Force, violence, pressure,
    and compulsion with a view to conformity is both uncivilized
    and undemocratic.
