[CGUYS] Email Scam?
My partner has a website advertising his artwork for sale. He received this email Monday. We're trying to ascertain whether this is a real person, if the offer is legit. There are several aspects that make it sound questionable (moving to South Africa, asking for discounts, taking out the shipping costs). He's thinking of offering limited edition prints of the artwork, rather than the artwork itself.

Re: [CGUYS] Email Scam?
The incorrect grammar and misspellings would be enough to make me suspicious. If he does decide to respond, I'd ask for the money order up front, cash it and then send the artwork (plus shipping to Dallas or wherever). It is also offensive, imo as someone who represented artists over the years. Art can be bargained, but would you bargain your dinner at a restaurant or your new suit at the department store? /gayley knight David Turk wrote: My partner has a website advertising his artwork for sale.

Re: [CGUYS] Email Scam?
Just the format and phrasing raises a host of red flags. It uses very generic wording that can apply to any targeted recipient. The placement of the images of interest looks like a mail merge of some kind. It just smells of an automated bulk email - not something who wants to decorate an apartment is likely to draft. I'd expect something much more personal, with details of how she came across your work, etc. Also, mail orders and cashiers checks are easy to counterfeit.

Re: [CGUYS] dtv converter box choice
For $40 coupon you get a tuner that outputs one channel. Some have passthrough which allows you to get the current analog signal, but you can just get a splitter to put in before the box if your tv has video 1,2,3 etc or aux inputs. I would pay more if I could get a box that is a multi output tuner that gives more than 1 channel (so you can use your vcr dvd recorder on it on separate channels). These boxes are directed at the people who don't have cable or dish and want a cheap way to keep their tv. They are not rocket science! -Original Message- From: Kyle R.

[CGUYS] MAJOR hard drive problems
THis is a long email describing my computer meltdown and a warning to everyone about hard drives. I recently lost 3 hard drives in 9 days. First I lost my backup drives for both my Dell XP system and my intel MacBook. THe XP drive was a 2 1/2 month old Seagate internal drive which was used to back up my primary drive every day. THe Macbook was backed up daily, weekly and bi-weekly to separate partitions on a 7 month old 750 GB Maxtor external drive using Super Duper. I thought I was completely covered. HA. After these drives died, I was getting warnings about my primary XP drive so I immediately bought a replacement drive and another external drive for XP backup. I used Seagate's Safety Drill to clone the original 160GB primary drive onto a new WD 500GB internal which I used to replace the 160GB. I thought I would get extra space on my new larger C drive but instead I had to partition it to give me another drive to use the rest of the 500GB. So now Seagate has replaced the 500GB drive which went bad. I want to have two 500 GB drives instead of a C drive with just 160GB, a D drive with about 316GB and the new drive with 500GB. Any suggestions of how to do it? Oh yeh, I didn't worry about the MAcbook which had a 7 month old hard drive (replaced by the Apple store when the first one went bad 7 months ago). Bad decision. That one died 9 days later and not only did it have only a 3 month warranty (thank you APPLE), but I had only backed up some of my information after I had lost my big backup drive. I just didn't think lightning could strike again and again and again. Last August when I lost my first Macbook hard drive it was only 13 months old (long enough to be out of warranty) but I had a 10 day old backup and I thought that was bad. I swore this would never happen to me again. Obviously I was wrong. Yes, I think I had a power surge. And yes, I had surge protectors and even a UPS on this system. THe computers and hard drives were all on the UPS and a new printer and router, speakers, etc. were on a surge protecter. But I had just bought a new Samsung laser monochrome printer which I had installed before the internal XP drive went bad. WHen I first used the printer (plugged into the surge protecter, not the UPS), the UPS beeped at me and my XP immediately restarted. I had never seen this happen before and didn't connect it with the printing. AFter the second occurrence, I unplugged the printer and moved it to another electrical circuit. Too late. THat might explain the internal XP death, and maybe the external 750GB except it is possible that the MacBook backups were failing for a few days already before this happened. I don't understand the MacBook hard drive failure because that never restarted at all, but it was the same 80GB drive that hundreds of others are complaining about on the Apple Support discussion sites . Data recovery was just too expensive and as the days go by, I guess I can live without all I have lost, but I am constantly remembering new things that I don't have (like receipts which I thought would be safe by keeping them in email folders.) So this is a warning to all - do not depend on any backup drive. THe more I researched this, the more I found that lots of them are failing, especially the big ones. ANd all the drives that failed (5 in all since last AUgust) were Seagate or Maxtor drives which are considered to be good drives. I couldn't believe at first that people were suggesting redundancy (backing up backup drives) but I do that now. I even have online backup going as well. I also bought new surge protecters with data recovery warranties so incase this ever happens again I can at least have some hope for recovery. I hope some of you get to the end of this long message and can answer the question I asked in the third paragraph. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] MAJOR hard drive problems
Are you sure that there isn't a short circuit _inside_ your Dell? or Mac? That's a lot of drives to lose in such a short time. Maybe the UPS is faulty--or surge suppressors--or a bad circuit. One or two power surges aren't likely to knock out all those drives, especially at different times. We've had plenty of power surges and brownouts here [nowhere]. I've been hoping that would blow out my old refrigerator so the power company would replace it. Bought a new refrigerator and donated the [still working] old one. Didn't lose any hard drives either except one that had a recall, and a few ancient ones that were shrinking anyway--none were killed due to surges.

Re: [CGUYS] MAJOR hard drive problems
I probably was not very clear. THe replacement 500 GB drive which is the secondary drive is recognized just fine. THe primary drive was originally recognized as 500 GB but then I used Safety Drill to clone the original 160GB drive onto it. So it created 2 partitions (actually there are 2 other small partitions that were on the original Dell Drive that are there too). THe first is seen as the C drive of only 160 GB, the second partition (the D drive) is 316 GB. I guess I wanted to know if there is some way to copy the existing 160 GB partition, create a new boot drive with all my applications and data from the 160 GB on a 500 GB drive so I don't have to split it up as two drives. I'm not familiar with other cloning software so I don't know how they work, but I assume that I want what people usually use to copy their boot drive onto a larger drive.

Re: [CGUYS] Online storage solutions?
No, but Mozy is excellent depending on what you needs are. Mozy has a decent interface, free for 2 GBs, $4.95 for unlimited storage, Really? UNLIMITED storage? I'm talking maybe 600 gig of photos. Another 500 gig if I back up my iTunes folder. I don't need file sharing. Mozy.com??? Thanks Paula IN/USA Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!
