LOL then I always knock on my forehead!! I've had 2 computers with power supplies that went - current one and the old e-machine - that basically burned the computer - we were able to salvage the hard drive though. It wasn't the original e-machine hard drive - my son is still using it in his computer. I think it is a Maxtor - and the one I use now is a Maxtor - Of course, like Rick says - now, I'll be waiting for it to die!! and I am just a novice - buy the one on sale that I can afford. Back then, I didn't even realize that hard drives had speeds....
