The hard drive in my lap top (Dell) just melted down. After getting the new one installed, I immediately opened up Firefox and surfed over to CCfan.com. Then I set it as a bookmark. Man, do I feel better now.
If your hard drive crashes and you get a new one, try this as your first step. ------------- Mullet Free since 93 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=717&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 95 Sport 1978 Ski Nautique |

Dude, hope you had everything backed up when you lost your HD. I've seen people rely on their laptop hard drive to store all their pictures, music, important doc's, etc. and not have a back up copy. Bad Idea! Laptop hard drives have a lot higher failure rate than a normal HD.
http://www.firefox.com - Firefox IMHO is the best browser out there. Much nicer than Internet Exposer. If your running version 2.0 it has an integrated spell check. Real nice feature for us posters who can't spell... May be a good idea for some of the CCF members (79 comes to mind  ) You can also download some cool add-ons such as integrated MP3 player and, my favorite, Bookmark synchronizer to make all the computers you use have the same bookmarks  .

Eric, If your still available to pull that prop Saturday you could bring it to the shop with you, then I could bring it back to you the following week.

No problem, It looks like it is going to rain anyway, and I would rather not get it all dirty since I am still working on buffing.
We'll shoot for next Saturday. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |
