Re: [doc] OT Email Problems

[Daniel Shane <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I¹ve worked in IT all my life I have had hundreds of HD fail.  I¹ve used
Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac and yes the all hardware fails.

The bonus of the Mac is that when you need to reload you Machine you don¹t
have to spend hours finding drivers etc.  A Ghost util comes with the OS
called Disk Utility and works great.
