    We had an old **** come in years ago for boat reg numbers and insisted that they have to be MN1234FU on one side and UF4321NM on the other. Finally made them that way and he went away... always wondered what the first DNR officer who saw him thought?

    Also good to know that they will fail... and if they do and you don't have a replacement you can remove it and turn the downside to the upside (requires punching a new hole usually) and it will function again.

    The spec sheet calls out one 500GB 3.5 Inch SATA drive and one 500GB 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s with 16MB DataBurst Cache. In the actual puter they are both Toshiba DT01ACA050 drives- I am wondering what the '16MB DataBurst Cache' means? If it is significantly better I will see if they will send me...

    A two foot or so 1x2 with a screw in the end to catch the grommet will give you a less stretchy way to hold down (clamp the other end to the edge of the table of course). That said... we have over a hundred premade banner blanks upstairs that have not been touched in 5 years. We will be moving...
