that could be why you are having crashes.

It might also be why I have low read/write speeds - ~250 for each.

250 of what units and what time frame?

MB/s. Isn't Sata 2 limited to 300? I'm assuming that's the issue.

yep, so 250 mbyte/s is reasonable.

and how is the drive connected?

It's a laptop, so there are no options internally.

internal would be sata.

external could be anything.


Regardless of computer issues, I just want to wish everybody a happy and
healthy holiday season and following year.

Yaah!

You missed me.

I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital having a gangrenous gall
bladder removed.

My commiserations, and I hope you are doing better now.

I had gall bladder surgery back in 2004, let us just say that the pain was
exquisite, and I was thankful to be rid of it. I had laprascopic surgery,
which was much better than having to be open up, but the overall effect was
as if I had been stabbed in the belly five times.

I have only three holes and the pain was not too bad. In fact they had
to have two goes. The first was laparascopic and the second was down
my throat, through my stomach and small intestine and back up the bile
duct. What was supposed to take 1 hour in total took 4 hours on the
first effort and the second took another hour. I think I suffered most
from the anasthesia and I have yet to completely recover. PeterN has
COPD. I presently have POCD. No wonder I get muddled.


I have a interesting schedule, this week.
Pulmanologist - to evaluate my COPD, and determine type and how much
anesthesia for my defibrillator/pacemaker replacement.
It beats the alternative.

Just about anything does.


Not necessarily. There is a big difference between living, and being alive.

That's why I wrote 'just'.
