TechRepublic Community Members:
Not only is today Monday, but it is also the day before
Groundhog Day here in the United States. What does that mean?
It means we are all crossing our fingers, toes, knees, eyes,
ears, etc... in hopes that the groundhog doesn't see his shadow
so we can start seeing some warm weather! Brrrrrrrrrr
So, what has been happening in the community? Well, you'll
just need to check out the below to see what has been
happening this past week in the community and what you might
have missed!

completely separate HDD. I therefore took the HDD from my 2nd
machine. It also had XP on it. Still, the drive was half empty,
so I partitioned it... -- furiouszed

Murphy's Laws of Computing
1: For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
2: When you get to the point where you really understand your
computer, it's probably obsolete.
3: A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but
rarely what you want it to do.
4: If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
5: If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
6: Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
