I actually have a whole box at work... found 'em in the 'puter room hiding. I really miss the old hard drives that you could take apart and use the platters for dinner plates... Now, I have a 1GB microdrive for my digital camera that weighs about an ounce. Crazy.

Ever notice that hard drive magnets make for PERFECT key holders on the fridge?

If your using XP, MS was kind enough to build in NTP (Network Time Protocol) to ensure your PC's time is always synced with an Internet NTP server & dead-nuts on with the atomic clock. I'll trust my PC before any other clock...

Oops, my bad. You're right, I checked my clock with the site clock and they are in sync. I am still so used to the one on my old computer that fell behind about 5 minutes a month and had to be reset manually. I just learned never to rely on the computer clock and use the one I have hanging on the wall here. Sorry for the mis-information.
