Fingers AND toes crossed...

Search this forum for threads about securing your hardware firewall as WarWagon and many others highly recommend you install in lieu of software firewalls.

If your backup in November was a full backup (OS, programs/applications, user data [files, documents, photos, videos, etc.]), then restoring your laptop with that backup will, literally, bring your laptop back to that point in time. Note that you will lose all files, documents, photos...

Another tip to speed up a program/process: - start Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del/Task List, or Run/taskmgr, etc.) - click on Processes tab - click on column heading "Image Name" or "Process" - find your app, e.g., iexplore.exe (for Internet Exploder) - right-click, "Set Priority" and click...

That's why I'm staying with IE7 trimmed to give me speed.

I haven't run HHO and WMI together but am planning to. The added oxygen from HHO (hydrogen-hydrogen-oxygen) generation for a cleaner burn is what helps improve efficiency/fuel consumption. Without O2/Lambda sensors, our diesels are perfect for the application. The cooling of the charge...

...and Gryffindor House wins!!!

Take lots of pics and vids!

Great White, pour in a can of Engine Restore & Lubricant (V8 size) every oil change... It started to help with the Beast's blowby and oil consumption after two oil changes. What route are you taking and timeframe for the trip? We'll look out for ya...

Nice wheels and tires! No clearance issues on ours.

You know, those external USB-connected SATA drives work well, too, if you want to consider it for the "old crappy one" to speed it up... I tend to ignore spin rates (RPM) and focus on transfer rates instead. Less than $50 for 500 GB with free shipping...

Thanks, Tim. They don't generate any more heat than lesser capacity drives, speed up and slow down as needed to save energy (even lesser heat). When you think about it, they use less energy per GB of storage. Video cards generate significantly more, hence heatsinks and cooling fans on them...

Regarding page/swap files: I have three (3) hard drives... 1. The first, a 400 GB PATA/EIDE drive, partitioned into C: (contains the OS, applications) and E: (back ups of configuration files, drivers, WinXP CD, etc.) 2. 1 TB SATA drive, F: (contains user/data files) 3. 1 TB SATA...
