DID YOU KNOW...........
Computers and hard drives aren’t as fragile as they were a few years ago, but you’re asking for trouble if you move your PC around while it is running. While your computer is running, its hard disk is very vulnerable. A tiny magnet literally floats less than a hair’s breadth above a platter where data is stored. A minor bump can send the magnet skittering into the disk’s surface. The damage can’t be repaired. Not only will you need a new hard disk, but you’ll likely lose the information the disk held.

Yep, knew that - it's called a head crash. I've seen plenty of platters after a head crash - it's not a pretty sight.

Re editing:

Just did a quick forensic report for a social worker (helped polish her English).

Hope the weather’s nice up there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Forensic report...sounds interesting. And polishing English sounds really good!

Very nice weather for the last week, and forecast for the week ahead. High 50s and low 60s most of the time, even almost 70 one day. But we really need rain now.

Enjoying spring and almost summer?

[MoochPooch]

Weather is turning warmer now. Hope I can avoid the AC until next month — cost much $$$$.

Anyway, good night, happy Mother’s Day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, Mooch.
