I agree with Kevin that for really important things, you should have them backed up on optical media as well as another harddrive and possibly even another source. One of the most reliable back-up medias is still tape, believe it or not, and though expensive, they are invaluable for very important data. That said, with good compression, you could make multiple copies of things using inexpensive DVD-Rs. As for your question, if C went down, F would still be perfectly readable since it is physically a different drive. If the two "drives" were nothing more than partitions (ie, divisions) of the same physical drive, things could get hairy. But if you're sure there is physically two drives in there, you'd be fine. However, there's nothing stopping F from going down one of these days and leaving C up and running as well. For the record, I purchased a Seagate to replace the WD in that Acomdata case and much to my delight and surprise, Seagate drives carry a 5 year warranty. I'm buying Seagate from here on out.

Jimmy Smiff was a much better organist than Jimmy Smurf.

James, leave that poor organ alone! You oughta be ashamed of yourself!

A nice article came out in the Grand Rapids Press today about organissimo & The Jammies: http://www.mlive.com/search/index.ssf?/bas...ress?ENG&coll=6

When did it start doing this (ie, not going to the log-in screen)? What OS are you running? If it's Windows XP, you can do a System Restore and restore the computer to an earlier, working state.

Leave it to the man to take an ethnic instrument and totally white-ify it.

Dang. That sounds pretty cool!

Is the video available in full? How many tunes did they do?

Nope.

What? Do you think I don't read this, Jimmy? I don't mind the other comment, but "drive thru"? Come on! Oops... busted.

Actually, that was the day Randissimo posted pics of his successful operation that turned him from Randy Marsh to Candi Marsh.

We're getting some drive-thru and then doing it twice!

Check out the WHOLE outfit!!! What the hell is he wearing!?! Vinyl shorts, vinyl tank top, a purse!??! What the hell!?

Damn... what the hell kind of drums are those!!?!? http://www.youtube.com/?v=IOjsA8Gwc3s

How about some Al Green? http://www.youtube.com/?v=GAUTGOIPBJ0

Dude, the reason I deleted it is because I got the email too and I'm getting that money, fool, not you!!!

I don't know if this is poetry, but it is damn funny. The title of the email is:

Thanks, everybody! I'm very proud of the disc. It came together very nicely. After I finish these projects, my mind is always racing with ideas for the next one! You can buy the disc at CDBaby: http://cdbaby.com/group/bigorecords and very soon it will be up on Amazon.com, CDUniverse, etc. just like the organissimo disc. We appreciate your support!

This opia person registered on February 7th, just to send spam emails?! How stupid. The good thing about this software is that he/she doesn't actually have your email address. If you send an email from the board, it never displays the recipients email. I just deleted the account and banned the IP address.

Reminds me of Commodore 1541 Floppy Drive music... You paid millions for your 1541?!?

So I had an MRI done today on my lower back. My poor wife has had several MRI's the past year and she had tried to explain to me how uncomfortable they are, but I was not prepared. There should be a little checkbox on the form, along with all the yes/no questions about stints, metal plates, etc. about whether one is claustophobic or not. That is one small space they shove you into. And the sound... it was like torture. I stayed cool by thinking about my daughter and all the fun stuff she and I can do once my back is better. Have you had an MRI?

The Stones crowd was definitely a prop. they advertised for locals to rush in at halftime, show some love, and then get the hell out of there at the end of it. the ads stated "no one over 45 please" Then what the hell were the Stones doing there?

I think I made the same post last year as this upcoming one... Does Pat Metheny win a Grammy every year?

I'm considering selling mine to finance an instrument purchase that I need to make. I don't listen to most of it much at all anymore anyway.
