InfernalKeith Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just a little rant as I beat my head against my desk here... the hard drive in my Dell laptop died yesterday. It's a year old and has seen moderate, normal use. I've tried a few recommended tricks, and the computer doesn't even think a bootable disk is installed. It's done. While re-installing software on my older, also-unreliable Toshiba laptop as a stopgap, I went down to the basement to try out three Moonbeam Software diskette games for my 99/4A that came in the mail this week (and that I'll be reviewing on my site shortly). These fragile 5 1/4" floppy disks were made, at the latest, in 1983, and hadn't been loaded in or used for at least 25 years. All three of them loaded just fine on the first try. I don't know what greater truth you can derive from this, but I do know which computer I like more at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
