Occured to me as well, was mentiomed even.

 She's attached herself to my landlady twice because she's well
 off and appears to use her because she resents that.
 Me I'd be happy in a job that paid decently and helped the
 disabled and she's got that.
 It appears she was attempting to use me to further gain
 points with the landlady who likes me and use that
 to her advantage. I'm poor, I'm an atheist but damn
 I've got standards.

 Couple of weeks, too burned out just now.
 Haven't even gone grocery shopping and that's a week overdue.
 Dog's doing better though :-)

Good idea but would the good drive be at risk if it is the PS?
I strongly suspect the PS.

I would certainly welcome that.
I'll manage to swap drives in the next few days as that's pretty easy.
Man would Win 3.1 scream on a celery 433 with 96 Meg of RAM :-)
