[CT] Who was it who said Eudora ...

[Dan Moran]

This is the God's-honest truth, I've lost 5 hard drives in the last 2
years, 2 in the last 2 weeks. I'm so paranoid about my data at this
point, this is my setup:

7 hard drives - 4 for backup, 1 for boot, a clone of boot because I got
tired of rebuilding my boot partition, and 1 for data. And then I burn
to CD, deltas of my work, about once a week.

To be fair, I do things on my machines that most people don't do. I'm
running on the same partition Win2K Advanced Server, Windows
Professional, Windows .NET Server, and on another partition Red Hat 7.2.
I have an unusually large range of software -- Visual Studio 6, Visual
Studio .NET, Office, Adobe Premiere & Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, every
major media player installed(I develop streaming software, among oher
things), DIVX, SQL Server, IIS 5.0, MySQL, IBM DB2, and Oracle. And I
USE all those programs.

One of the reasons I started ghosting my boot partition was after it
died, twice in less than a year, it took me weeks to rebuild all my
installed programs both times.

Dan, you have absolutely the worst luck with computer hardware.  In 20
years, I've never had my boot partition get wiped except by my own
failure (installing an early version of Debian - bad idea).
