The new MuNu sever has locked up again, and my F drive has turned into a pumpkin.

Do you need a sympathy card?

And would this be the reason comments are not being emailed as per checked off little box?
Or, as my granny used to say, am I not holding my tongue right?

No. That's probably because the existing server is on a network blacklisted for spam, and your ISP is rejecting them.
Which is one of the reasons I want to move to the new server.

Tsk, tsk... servers hanging about with bad companions...
Not complaining, Pixy, I know you're the hardest working man in indecipherable techno stuff. :)

More a case of the neighbourhood going bad.
The company I signed up with got bought by another group - that's when the spam problems started.

All my comments are still e-mailed to me, if that means anything.
Why is your equipment always bugging out, dude? Where do you get that stuff? Just wondering is all.

Well, I had a bunch of IBM GXP75 drives. They were famous for dying unexpectedly.
I had a 250GB drive formatted with FAT32. Probably a bad idea.
I have no idea why my F drive just got screwed up. I think it's probably Windows rather than the drives, but it's odd.
As for the new MuNu server - I have no idea what the problem is. We replaced the drive, and it still has the problem.
I suspect that most people do not routinely copy hundreds of gigabytes of data about, or expect their computers to have uptimes measured in years. I do both.

Besides which, I have, let's see, 13 computers at home, plus another 8 I'm responsible for at work, plus the two MuNu servers. Some of which work just fine.

I see - you're just playing the odds. With that many computers at least some should work some of the time.

Well that's a different story then... I thought all those problems were with the same box.
That's a seriously expensive hobby you have there my friend. Ever wonder how much money you have tied up in hardware alone? I suspect that you probably run a lot of open source and free stuff, but still the software licenses would run a fortune too, not to mention your phone bill. Damn....

Almost all of the software I use is open source - the major exceptions being games and the Sonic Foundry (now Sony) software I use to write music.
A lot of the hardware is relatively old; two machines are brand new; six are around three years old, and the rest are older. My SGI O2 dates from 1997, and my Sun Ultra 5 from 1998.

Oh, and I used to earn a
lot of money. From 1996 through 2001, anyway. I'm still doing okay, but most of the stuff dates from those years.
