   Hi Tom and Jean.   
      
   I told Jean earlier "more later". Here comes the long story..   
      
   TW>Those things are still somewhat possible but I drop a lot of screws   
   TW>to get the job done. Just last week I did a drive swap. Removed the   
   TW>old Hard Drive and installed a SSD, AFTER Cloning. :-)  :-)   
      
   I had a horrible experience last week. I had completed the assembly of   
   the "new" computer for this BBS and put back the outer shell.   
      
   While transferring files for the operating system and some other sub-   
   directories to the DOS partition I noted that the 3.5" diskette drive   
   couldn't read all media properly while my other computers didn't have   
   any problem reading the same diskettes.   
      
   So away came the outer shell and then the horrible truth dawned on me.   
   The mobo was mounted to a fold down side panel of the chassis and the   
   steel plate completely covered all access to the right hand side screws   
   of the drive. All seven expansion cards had to come out first before it   
   was possible to fold down the side pf the chassis.   
      
   Of course I didn't know that because the front facing diskette drive and   
   the two CD-drives were mounted before the mobo was mounted. All this   
   cost me a couple of extra evenings. Often the diskette has one pin   
   missing from one end of the connector strip and the female plug that   
   same hole plugged but not in this case and no marking on the diskette   
   male conn where the number 1 pin was so of course the connector was   
   reversed.   
      
   Then my grand son came for a weekend here and I had to clean out all my   
   computer stuff from the desk and his bed. Yes, the nouse mat was on the   
   bed and when not over the knees the keyboard too.   
      
   The GS has now left and I'm sitting here in the wrong room but the   
   monitor is already on the table but not yet connected to the machine.
