    He will. In 2002, if not sooner.

    The Italian wedding I went to..

    I've had a good time at every wedding I've ever been to, except possibly my own. I don't remember too much of that one.

    Best (FASTEST) SCSI disk drive?

    Seagate Cheetah X15. 15k RPM. Tom's shows the maximum data transfer as slightly below some 10k drives, but the minumum is about 50% faster. U160, 18.4 GB can be had from bason (my favorite place for HD's) for 339 + shipping.

    What are your thoughts?

    I'm in favor on 2 conditions. First train 'em. Second, load the damn things with Glazer safety slugs or something similar. I'd rather not experience both a hijacking and explosive decompression, thanks.

    I knew Microsoft sucked but ...

    s4, please don't deny us your input. I'd like to think that everybody's opinions are valued here, as long as nobody takes it personally and starts a bunch of crap that does nobody any good. That's really all I'm saying here. The part of your post that you edited out didn't offend me, it...

    I spoke too soon

    At least you can back up the data files from safe mode. You may be forced to do that and then format/reinstall.

    S4, Prof has as much right to his opinion as you have to yours. I don't believe it was meant as a suggestion that you go away. Have you considered a switch to decaf? ;)

    Building Question

    It's always a risky proposition, but you can just slap the stuff in there and let Windows figure it out, with one notable exception. If you are changing away from an older mobo meant for a AMD chip with a Via chipset, you have a higher probability of running into problems. You can minmize this...

    First time they've had it completely right in a while.

    I have my computer so overclocked it crashes when it's IDLE!

    Why would this be a desirable thing?

    Tomshardware smells burning

    It all comes down to know-how when you build the damn thing. Put it together right, and you'll have no problems.

    if you have the option of setting up windows or linux for your dedicated genomer...

    You are correct. Linux clients at G@H have a history of slow/buggy perfoemance. I don't know that I see fixing that as a huge priority at Stanford, either.

    Printer problem

    This sounds stupid, but I've seen it work before. Get into your BIOS (hit delete as the computer boots). In the Onboard Peripherals section, look at the settings for your onboard parallel port. If it's SPP, change it to ECP/EPP. Save settings and exit. Try again.

    So, what's your rig?

    It has been suggested that we put a sticky in this forum for easy reference when people post system problems. Anyone wanting to post their specs, please do so here. I'll start: System 1 - 1.2 T-bird Asus A7M266 384 MB Crucial PC2100 RAM Seagate 38 GB U160 SCSI 10k RPM HD Plextor...

    The trouble is only now starting for us

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've been predicting a 5-10% fall in the first day, but I'm also willing to bet that you see a 3-4% rebound on the second. A lot of mutual funds have strong cash poitions they're sitting on due to the stuff going on before this. They aren't going to resist...
