-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Becky's C & D drive merry go round

Becky,
    That's an extremely small tutorial by my normal standards.  In fact, I 
would only call that a simple answer to one person's question on the list. 
I've written several much longer and more detailed tutorials on this subject 
over the years and I'm now surprised that Neil doesn't have them saved in 
the same folder.  I plan to attempt to locate all of these related tutorials 
and combine them into a single, somewhat concise and relatively 
understandable post to the group.  I'm just not sure when I'll have the time 
to follow through on that desire.  Incidentally, Potter DOES get it in the 
end in at least one of my longer tutorials.

    I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying the group.  Better yet, 
that you're learning from our rantings and banter.  Stick around.  It'll 
only get worse.       ;O}

Peace,
GMan
