well back to square one… I have rebuilt the machine with a new drive and treated myself to some more RAM while I was at it. It currently has just one partition, running win 2k. There *will* be a linux partition again one rainy day - good job I have had a practice run and logged it all here to avoid repeating mistakes!
I saw an advert on TV last night for a mobile phone company, (O2 I think) with some deal for text messaging and it was the most pompous piece of rubbish I had seen in a long time. It had ridiculous non-ironic imagery including huge chrome letters showing the price of the text message and a patronising voiceover. Didn’t the creators see the Boddingtons adverts which the the piss out of this sort of thing? It doesn’t work, stop it!
well… the hard drive started to play up on sunday, failed on wednesday. Luckily I have backed up all the important files and will be starting from scratch with a new drive ASAP
