I'm not sure, but I think it was Act! that hosed my hard drive last week. As soon as I had installed it my hard drive started acting wonky. When I talked to a tech buddy about it, he mentioned Act! was cr*p and suggested I just upgrade to Oulook 2003 and Get Business Contact Manager, which is what I have done (in addition to buying a new PC). So far so good. On a related note my backup strategy seems to have worked fine. I pulled the 2nd hard drive out of the old PC, disconnected the 2 external drives and other stuff, swapped in the new pc and had all my programs and data up within 2 hours. Pretty cool. tv
