[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 538853, member: 10543"] It's fortunate that you have it in reserve. My wife's old laptop was Vista-driven and suffered an HD failure. I kept the machine and am wondering if I can somehow procure an old HD on the cheap. Up until a few years ago, I had kept my old TI-99/4A computer from the early '80s just for the fun of it. Being a sort of yestertech guy, I think back on the days of my TI, and my later DOS-based machines and realize that it was kind of fun being on the cutting edge of something new, doing my own coding, saving programs on cassette tapes and joining a local computer club through a BBS, all connected by telephone modem. Hope you get your modem back soon and re-enter the 21st Century. :) [/QUOTE]
