Hey is SATA pritty easy to setup???? Never had set it up before.. Im thinking instead of doing ide to the HD doing a setup with SATA, and doing IDE to my DVD burner and Cdrom drives. and my 80gig MUSIC, PIctures, and movie drive I will transfer from IDE To the sata drive... (looking at a 500gb SATA drive)

Yes, it is. Just make sure you have the drivers for your SATA controller when you install the OS.

I use to love programming in BASIC.

Man those were the days.

I remember when my parent's looked at me like I was Bill Gates when I wrote a program to run my intramural bowling league in college. It used to shuffle the teams, compute the bowling averages and handicaps, and provide weekly standings output that I could sneaker mail over to the student paper (our computers weren't networked yet (this was during the Novell Netware days), and the newspaper didn't have a newfangled 1200 baud modem like I did)

"this was during the Novell Netware days"

Hey, Netware is still alive. The last two companies I've worked for run Novell Netware.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Yeah, so is Wordperfect....

It's just the vast majority of people have switched to Micro$oft.

After all the time I spent wrestling with Netware at the time, I was happy to leave them behind (I know that is unfair.... it's just a hard thing to work through, especially when every piece of hardware in our small business comes with MS products built in).
