There is also the cost of /time/ ... I too keep multiple backups, both onsite and offsite. That keeps the /data/ safe. The only /hardware/ that I keep as a 'backup' is for what is critical for my work. That costs time and money. If some other hardware fails, then hey-ho, it goes offline for a while and it makes for a very good excuse for an upgrade. I guess the same goes here... We've seen a hardware failure for an unpaid project and to make best use of time and resources, an upgrade has been made to something new. I guess all that is needed beyond that is a minor sorry for the minor disruption. For a project this long standing, the run has been very good and very good (positive) fun. Change (progress) is good also, even if it means jumping out of an old rut and into something new. Progress often has a disruption and time cost. For an Amateur project, I think we've had a far better run than any of the 'professionals' could offer. And all for the love of the search and for minimal cost. Very good. Good luck, Martin _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
