I've seen this video before. The whole area is beautiful. My son just got back from a week of training in Abbottsford. His last day there, he went into Vancouver, he said it was the coolest looking city he's ever been to. They then went to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, from the pictures he took it looks like a fun area.

Looks like the blasting cap for the ejection seat. HANDLE IT WITH CARE !

Me Political NO WAY

New twist to an old joke…. The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, and then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she said proudly. "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civilspirit, and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good", said the teacher. Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said. "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." "Very good, Debbie", said the teacher. Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom, and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467", he said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" "Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. "Toothbrushes" echoed the teacher. "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?" "I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny. "I set up a Dip & Chip stand, and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." They all said the same thing: "Hey, this tastes like dog poop!" Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush? I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free, and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth." Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment. Bless his heart!

I got an email from zook yesterday saying the site would be down for a short time for some maintenance. Must not have gone as planned.

The whole point of the first Valkyrie was the lack of all that plastic, if you add bags and a trunk you'd have a slimmed down wing.

It's simple folks, that web site was designed to fail, on purpose. The shell game, Watch this while we do something else while you're not looking.

Hammering rains last night and howling winds tonight but no damage so far.

I heard from Joyce earlier today, the surgery went well and larry should be home recuperating. I'm sure larry will chime in as soon a he feels up to it.

A lot of it is just PMS setting in. I too have been busy with fall tasks around the home, to tired to sit on the 'puter at days end, now I'm headed up to kill some beer.. er... ah... I mean deer. Another week away from the 'puter.

Safe travels. Thank You for doing your part to protect us all from the evil do'ers.

Well I got ya covered Bob, I just happen to have 2 quarts of pure Virginia mountain shine, NO SUGAR ADDED

Any military base will have 190 everclear at the PX liquor store. It's best to call before you go to be sure it's in stock. Of course you must be able to buy on base.

OR IS IT ? A bit of reading and it's got me wondering about NAS. If the NAS is attached and running isn't it also vulnerable to virus and malware infection ? If I disconnect it from the network until the next time I want to backup, then how does it catchup on data changes in the 2 PC's I'm looking to protect.? Again my main goal in all this is the protection of my OS's and data. Once a month or so I'd want to update my important stuff. So is NAS or Cloned drives in a safe the better solution? only because there is no little exploding head guy to put here

Well after all this discussion on what's & how's, Carlos has graciously offered to help me put together a NAS box to backup and store all my pc data. Seems like the best solution. Think I'll go get another Hd to extend the capacity. This has been an extreamly informative subject, thanks to all the contributors.

Carlos, Give me a call, let's talk about this. I do have an older XP box with a 650GB drive. only problem with it is I can't get it to connect to my network. It only wants to connect thru dialup not the network cable.

OK.. here's my next question. I have decided (I think) that instead of using the external drive that uses a usb2 connection to do the clone, I am going to install the new drive into my pc to do the clone. This should make cloning faster. When I reboot the the pc it's going to see the brand new drive and I'll partition and format it, windows will want to mark this drive as E or F most likely, when I clone the existing C: drive to this new HD, is the letter assigned during the partition and format going to be a problem when I do as Brian suggested and use this a my system drive, or will I need to change the drive letter of the clone? I plan to use the free Acronis software offered by WD to do the cloning. Here is a link to the new HD specs http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1086&language=1

The drive I am cloning has about 600GB on it so I would expect it to be an all day affair over a usb2 connection. Lots of photos, music and video. WD offers Acronis true image software if it detects that you have a WD drive attached to the system.

I went out today and bought a HD enclosure and a Western Digital 2TB RED NAS 3.5" drive that I'm going to partition and format as one large drive to clone my drive. The Red drives come with a 5 year warranty and if the drive fails within the warranty period WD will recover the data at no charge.

I should mention that after backing up, the drive will be disconnected from the system to prevent virus/malware migration onto the backup drive. Then once a month it will be updated after scans ensures there is no nasties on the pc. Thanks to all for contributing to this thread, it should help others as well.

I found this microsoft article that explains how to use drives larger than 2.19TB , it is possible if...... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/i-have-a-3-tb-drive-windows-7-ultimate-wont-format/b1cc3811-f25f-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5

Thanks for your observations on drive dependability. Do you agree with what Brian said (post 2) about being able to overcome the HD size issue with win7 by formatting and partitioning a 3TB or larger hd ?
