Well, It's been a terrible week here.  But ended up very well. :)

On last monday, I installed a brand new 600 meg HD on the MM/1.  When I plugged
my HD with all my source back in to copy the files to the new HD. I plugged the
SCSI cable in backwards, turned the computer on and ZAP! Bye Bye source code.
:(  That drive had -ALL- my source code on it, UUCP, RN, CNEWS, ELM, CGFX, and
all my commercial software source too!

Luckily, Maxtor was kinda enough to send my a replacement HD, but couldn't
(Wouldn't) fix my existing HD.  So I waited 3 days for the new Maxtor....

When it came I was able to swap out the PC boards and get the data off my
source drive.    Then re-swapped the boards and sent the bad drive back
to Maxtor.  (Thank God they will send you a replacement drive and let you ship
the bad one back AFTER you get the new one!)

I got really, really lucky this time.  (The knewest backup I had was 9 Months
old)  Time to run out and get a Tape or Floptical drive before anything else
happens.

Can you relate to having everything you ever wrote, including those special
personal tools, destroyed in seconds!  Not a pretty picture.

BTW the 600 meg Seagate I got for $600 bucks in Los Angeles.  (Good deal)
