swak1962 Yes, that is true! But not everyone can run right on out and buy a new piece of equipment when it starts failing on us. There's a line from the 1987 film "The Untouchables" which corperations are beginning to adopt. "It's not made to be good, it's made to...

swak1962 At this time, I know of no movies being made from these books, nor do I know if any are in the works. The setting of the stories takes place in The Forgotten Realms, a fantasy world which is trademarked by Wizards of the Coast, a Fantasy RPG company. If such...

swak1962 The story Stanger in a Strange Land has made a rather profound impact upon me. For one, I believe that IF Jesus or a Christ-like individual were to introduce himself or herself into society today, much like the character in the book has done, preaching the...

swak1962 Basically, I think it's a method of network marketing. Advertisers are paying search engines like Google and Yahoo to keep track of where we, the internet surfer, are going. Thereby, they advertiser can target his market product according to demographics of...

swak1962 The SCA is a national/international organization. If you enjoy things like the RenFest, but would also be more thrilled in being a participant rather than just an observer, then perhaps you might like to join up with the group. When I was in the SCA, there...

swak1962 Unfortunately, Civil War Tokens is not a field I am too familiar with. My experience of numismatics centers more upon government issued U.S coins. The value of these tokens is based upon the composition of their metal, how many were minted, and whether they...

swak1962 The idea is to get it cold. Depending on how bad the drive is, it may not have to be too cold, perhaps 50 degrees. For seriously damaged drives, they may have to be close to freezing temperatures.

swak1962 Yes, most times, the lens of the drive is dirty, and regular cleaning discs don't do the trick. You are correct about not touching the lens itself, for it is a very sensitive piece that can easily be knocked out of alignment. The method you described above...
