After my goof on the shipment the 'puter finally got to Tech Restore, and I got a phone call this morning. The problem is the hard drive, which failed. I asked them to upgrade from the original 160 gig drive to 250 gigs which gives me more room at faster speed (I think). The machine will be shipped back tonight (Friday) which means I should have it Monday. It will take a day to rebuild it all from the Iomega external hard drive back up I use but it should be a straight restore. I could have had DR (Data Restore, another California company) transfer it all but that's a different operation, would have delayed the return, and cost $95 per hour, $195 minimum. I decided to DIY this one.
That's where I stand now. We're on the return leg of a frustrating trip, and should be back up, and running, in a few days.
A little hiccup now and then keeps life interesting. Yeah. Right!
