Also, is it possible to consider a slightly smaller logo/signature?

I suppose I could also download “Prime95” to test the CPU and memory to see if there is an issue developing there.

I’ve got a machine that keeps crashing and I’m beginning to suspect hardware issues. What’s the best way to conduct non-destructive testing on the SCSI drive in the machine? I need to keep the data and O/S, as it’s our time and attendance server and I *really* don’t want to have to rebuild it. ☺ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
