2 Minutes sounds good.

We are crazy.

I recommend contacting these people: http://www.komag.com They may resist at giving out information, but be persistent.

Well done Jake. You will prove to be a great moderator, just like your peers. Drinks on me for a change, and I'll actually have one. :D

It is? :D

What kind of spacing issue Handruin? Do you have the sample you're working on?

This is a 40 GB per platter drive. If this is a prime drive, then you are using 1 head on one side of the platter.

Jake, what is the complete MDL number? MDL example: WD200BB-00CAB0

I've moved this poll to the top of the page since browser popularity and usuage has come up again.

Yes, ugly as in: pasty white, too much flash, bad picture. The other one of you with the big smile looks much better - it has color, you look alive. :D

That would be a two-platter drive. Besides not having a clean room, removing the platters for that drive will render your data recovery attempts futile. Data recovery companies don't even remove platters. Once the disk clamp is loose, and the platters rotate independently, the difficulty of...

I have had good success with MSI video cards, and continue to use them. I know some aren't with me on this, but again, my experience has been good.

Is this a single platter drive?

I'm looking through these, and perhaps: "Show End of Vote 0.1.0" would help if we generate more polls to populate some of our FAQ section. "Fast and Furious Hack (phpBB2) 1.0" sounds good if it really speeds up our forum. Would "ChatBox v1.18b" be useful? Oooh, "Tetris Game V.Alpha", that...

You're welcome Coug. I'm always happy to pass on helpful information.

As Tea experienced and Coug explained why, I had Netscape destroy Mozilla for me too. Suddenly, Mozilla no longer loaded any images. I ended up uninstalling Netscape and Mozilla. Then I re-installed Mozilla and decided against using Netscape for a while. On Windows, Opera has not been any...

MSI is still not a major player as some expect, and their motherboards are still not the best at stability or quality - albiet, they are very good. MSI tends to be more aggressive with new technology, more so then Gigabyte or Soltek. That is why MSI still hasn't reached that crown of quality...

Hmmm . . . . I'd still say, "Hi" if we passed on the street. You look a bit pasty in that picture. Now, if you and your four ugly friends showed up in a dark alley like that, I'd try and remember my track-n-field days. Although, considering that I'm a wee heavier now and older, I'd probably...

Sorry to hear about your loss JTR.

The clicking noise is not inherent to the drive, and as P5 rightly points out, will fail. Please backup and replace the drive. Using peanuts in a package makes for a great filler, but it allows the product inside to shift during shipment and settle against a wall of the box. Thus, hard disk...

Ah yes. Paying the way for the Bartender and Tea. Quite costly if you ask me. Any thoughts Tannin?

Bartender! Drinks on the house for our new member, and whatever he wants.

Just in case someone missed the top joke in Australia: This woman rushed to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off: “Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin...

Gardeners? HA! Landscape Architects. Actually, as your grin points out, we're enthusiasts. We can appreciate the best out of almost anything, whether it be the reliability of a lawnmower, the speed and commotion of an offset press, or the raw power of a 15,000-rpm SCSI drive.

That is fantastic Clippy, I wish we could all net that type of score.

Ha! That just looks like a few spasms after a foul tasting drink. I'm still waiting for scary.

There is nothing scary about that picture. Tony looks scarier.

Age of Empires. Allow the other teams to advance to the last age, and then attack them.

What a salesman . . . hit me again.

Just for everyones information, I'm not into Discos, bars, nightclubs, etc. If I want a drink, I'll be at home or a friends house. If I want to go out, it will be for dinner or on the odd occassion, a movie. Did someone say trees, I like trees. Jake, I'm not the sort to color my hair and...

Quite right. The idea is to replace Outlook 2000/2002 with something comparable.

Give them a visit Coug, at: http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm

Thanks for the input so far, more is always appreciated. As the preferred AV client, I'm presently using and pushing NOD32. I'm not sure how this will interact with some of the email clients.

That is part of their business. However, please keep in mind that refurbished is a rather loose term. Since I haven't experienced a Samsung failure, I can only speak for WD drives. When MDT worked for WD, they did drive testing for all product that came in and passed receiving. If the...

So, what is an excellent email client to use on a Windows XP/2000 system is not an Outlook flavor.

The biggest confusion is that MDT uses the same model number on the product as the manufacturer, and people believe that the manufacturer will replace the drive. WRONG! It is a refurbished drive, with a MDT label, it becomes an MDT product, with an MDT warranty. Their racket is pretty good if...

Product has been used for roughly 72 hours while testing compatibility with certain drives. Sale includes: 1 3ware 7850 8-port RAID Switch – supports RAID 0,1,5,10, and JBOD 8 ATA-6 cables 4 Power Splitters – supports 8 additional HDDs Driver Diskettes Manual Retail Box Price...

Nice. :D

I love it. :mrgrn:

Tasmania looks like a nice place to live. But of course, so far I've only read the good points. Does anyone here have any impressions about Tasmania?

Worse would be the person that stops and thinks about the consequences, panicking in their haste, wondering if they're making a mistake!

MDT is used by Maxtor and Seagate, and was used by Western Digital until recently, as the return location for failed hard disk drives. This third party warehouse also refurbishes the replacement drives for the manufacturer. They also purchase refurbished product from these manufactures...

Oooh, and it's number 2 on your list - sounds nice.

I must say, in my personal experience, stay away from VIA KLE and PLE 133 chipsets, please. :D If you need DDR memory Mercutio, just stop . . . never mind, you're in Indiana.

If I could afford to migrate to Australia, where would be the best place for temperate summers and cool (freezing (no snow)) winters be? Oh, and an average rainfall of over 20 inches would be nice. Seattle/Tacoma is sounding better and better.

Our consideration to such details is lacking. I'm at fault for not showing enough attention to this site, and apologize. My excuses are endless, but the improvements to this site remain in want. If assigned to a minor task, I would be happy to help. I’ll even solicit the help of our sober...

Does Melbourne at least get cool weather in the winter?

No heating you say? Fire up half a dozen XP 2000+ systems running F@H in the house, that should keep things warm.

You, not looking reputable? Impossible! :D

I bumped this thread so new people could get some idea of who we are. But I noticed that many of the pictures no longer connect to their destination, pity.
