Exactly what I was trying to do and also trying to add
a little humor. Maybe bad humor but no insult was
intended. Your post shows that YOUR intent was
absolutely negative. My advice is to turn on SCSI
externals before the MAC, period. If you have a
different opinion, you are entitled.
> Please refrain from the negative vibes !
This is the pot calling the kettle black. There was
nothing negative in my post only in yours attacking
me.
If you want citations about being careful when turning
on SCSI devices I will be glad to foward them to you.
I did not make this up inorder to be negative. I was
giving advice to be careful based on what I have been
told by companies that make these devices.
If you think I like PC then you plain can't read what
I wrote or you were too blinded in your attack to read
carefully before responding. I said that the masses,
who own PC's suffer. Hardly a glowing recommendation
by ANYONE'S standards.
Bottom line, I was joking with my "post-it" comments,
didn't mean to offend and never personally attacked
anyone. You are not. My advice to you, take a deep
breath and calm down. I don't push PC's. I've owned
every MAC since their birth.
