SATA Yadda Yadda

Well, my recent computer issues seem to be entirely a case of two SATA hard drives just coming to the end of their existence. The replacement drive -- just $80 for a 500 gigabyte 7200 RPM with a 16 megabyte buffer -- seems to be working great. Cross your fingers.

Ah, Computers

Had a hard drive go out. Installed an operating system on the second hard drive, installed my applications, got back in business.

Then the second hard drive went out.

Managed to get the needed files off of it, but no go on the reinstall. Been working on my laptop in the meantime, which is a bit slow and tough, compared.
