<sarcasm>Well, today's a funny day.</sarcasm>  I was starting to reset an older machine (one that I've had for several years), when I heard the now-all-too-familiar 'click, click, whirrr, click'.  Well, chalk that up to another hard drive gone...I have a stack of 5 hard drives on my desk now that have failed within the past several months.  Se la vi.  Oh well.  I guess I'm beyond feeling now - this crash didn't even affect my disposition today, except that it made me laugh.

Fortunately, I had backed up all valuable information from the drive - so no data lost (this time).
