Out of The PIT

If I was asked by someone the best way to live one's life, I would use the above statement. Each part which I've added to as I've aged.

I went on a bit of a spending spree several months ago to purchase replacement boards for my three broken hard drives. The drives themselves were good, but the boards they were using were fried, as could be seen from the scorch marks on each of them. Fortunately the BIOS chips were still good so I could get them back up and running so long as I could find replacement boards for each one. Well, I was planning to do this for a several years now.
