    Well I guess my wifes wishes came true my < 1 yr old main drive in my desktop (IBM deskstar 80GB) went boom this morning... I am hoping to be back online for some action tonight though. I tried all morning running the low level diagnostic and recovery utils with no luck... oh well its still under warranty and I've got a 20gb maxtor backup.

    That sucks. I hate when that happens.

    I'll be around tonight as well for some DC.

    If you were a zombie and I had to kill you, I'd feel sad.

    Those IBM drives are the one that everyone is sueing about I think. Bad bearings! I had two go and now I use Seagate and Maxtor. Anyway, the new AMD64 system is stable and ready for DC. I should be around tonight so you guys can school me on the finer pts of combat.
