It is dead, it is an ex PC…
It’s a bit like buses really. You know the line: none for ages, and then you two together. Another client has suffered a hardware failure: this time it is the hard disk. Getting the new disk was the easy bit, putting back all the applications, printers etc is the pain, and that’s before beginning to reload all the data.
I think I prefer software design to digging about inside PCs – it’s much more civilized.
