Thanks.

You have to slap it down like a disobedient puppy every time it tries to get in the way of you getting on with your business.

Blimey.
Quote: DaButt @ July 31 2009, 2:23 PM BSTHard drives are half the price of dual-layer discs and then there's the extra time it takes to burn all that data and the massive amounts of storage space required. Single-layer discs are cheaper, but you double the physical storage space requirements and you have to use lossy compression to fit a typical DVD onto a single-layer disc.
Ah, you're burning video format. Perhaps a different ball game then.

I love the Mac because you can have lots of applications open at once and not need worry at all. Plus it has a better window organisation that Windows dodgy 3D whatever it is?
I'm just so happy to be working on one. I can't believe it. And for a non-programming casual user like me. It's perfect.
The data recovery software is recovering (what I hope to be) the lost files. I'll find out in 9 hours. 
The files have lost their names and folder structure, so I'll be playing them one by one, trying to figure out what show/series/episode it is and then renaming and resorting them all. That'll keep me busy for the rest of the year ...
F**k me, I'd just start again. Otherwise I'd just come to resent all of those shows.
I'd just download as I need to watch. It's not like I'd always need episode 3, series 7 of Seinfeld always at hand. It would be nice, but with the 'net being as fast as it is nowadays, is it worth storing locally?
My laptop is officially toast. The processor fan went, causing the processor to burn out. So, I'm officially saving for a new one. That said, husbands piss me off, especially mine. I had been working on something with a lot of promise and lost it when the computer quit. He just laughed at me and in his best arrogant bastard voice said, "You should have backed it up." I was working on it you twit. Arghh!
Kill him.
I should. I look terrific in black.

What would you mourn more, hubby or the laptop?

I download to hard drive then backup to data DVDs. Having had a hdd recently die (clicking) I wouldn't want to lose all my files (again). As it is I've only lost a minimal amount of stuff.
I may try to freeze my failed hdd (for a few hours) then remove as much info before it heats up. I've heard this works 50-60% of the time.

Sage advice from the Global Moderator there. Won't get that on sodding Chortle!

Too much thought process, Andrea!
When you use telephone banking and and the recorded voice asks "please enter your date of birth in 6 digits using the phone keypad" ......................"For example if you were born on the 5th of August 1978 you would enter 050878 so please enter your date of birth in a 6 digit format now"
What monkey needs a further minute of recorded drivel to explain how you enter your DOB as 6 digits??????
Anyone banking with them that was born in 976 and may get a little confused, surely a 1,033 year old would probably go into the bank and tell everyone that laid eyes on them their age
