Msg 45226 is 06 line(s) on 11/05/91 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/STATIC #2 Well, the durned thing (T1000XE) came back from Toshiba with NTF - No Trouble Found. So what ever it was, it cleared up with time. Perhaps they "reset it" by removing power or something. Interesing thought about a latch-up of a chip. And for sure, the thing doesn't power off when you power off - matter of fact, it draws 6.6ma when "powered off" - about a week's worth of time! Msg 45227 is 10 line(s) on 11/05/91 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: ORGANIZING HARD DISK At work I'm chaging from a 120M to a 160M hard disk. Any thoughts on organizing it? No tape drive for backups, so I'd like not to have to back it all up very often! I'm thinking of trying to separate applications from data on 2 partitions - means a little extra work doing "save as" under Windows and other applications. One thought against that is how often my application set changes - upgrades, new PD software, stuff I've written, etc. I can't really see a partition staying "static" for long! Thanks for any ideas! Msg 45228 is 10 line(s) on 11/06/91 from JERRY OLSEN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/ORGANIZING HD I recently was faced with a comparable decision. As my apps also are volatile , I opted for a single partition. Though I generally wouldn't recommend it to others, I back up DIRs on an as-needed daily basis by running a program of mine which reflects the current day's changes in file creation/update. I think a reasonable alternative might be careful segregation of data into their own DIRs, then do back-ups something like this with prepared back-up program scripts: (1) daily back-up of all data DIRs; (2) weekly back-up of app DIRs which contain some files which update on app "status" (e.g., WINDOWS); and (3) full- blown "full" back-ups on a monthly basis. Msg 45229 is 07 line(s) on 11/06/91 from MURRAY ARNOW to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: STATIC Just some comments on static. I noticed static becoming an growing problem as leather was increasingly replaced by synthetics in shoes. Particularly, replacing leather soles with crepe and other rubber substitutes that don't absorb moisture can aggravate the "static problem". A solution, not practical for work, is to go around barefoot or in stocking feet. Otherwise, the easiest solution is to discharge yourself before you turn on a computer. To reduce the shock sensation, hold a key and touch a grounded object.

Msg 45230 is 13 line(s) on 11/06/91 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JERRY OLSEN re: R/ORGANIZING HD I like that idea - of leaving it one partition, but organizing fixed vs variable data into diff subdirs! Also, since I've ALREADY created a 127M partition, I think that is easiest (no need to full-back-up and repartition and restore). I'm growing very fond of a new shareware program: STOWAWAY. It is an archiving program, somewhat similar to Intelligent Backup. With it you archive old things (whole dirs, individual files, etc) off to diskette (with verify, optional erasing of source). It is helping me clean up my hard disks, making the backups easier. I think I might try to create a single subdir (of course with lots of subdirs under it) of applications that can be readily re-installed (such as Norton 6.0), then never back up anything there. Thanks for the ideas! No dup. chars. >Function:?
