    Comcast Email Failure: Other Victims?

    I recently discovered that Comcast, my ISP/Email Server has failed to transmit numerous emails both to and from my account. Oddly, I have received no notification of any problem from Comcast. These failures (for me) represent a small percentage of the total emails associated with my account...

    Dual-Boot: Both into XP-Pro w/ dedicated HDDs

    I'm rising from the ashes of a complete hardware disater. Long story. Starting anew, I desperately need swift navigation to an article or posting on dual-boot configurations where both boot-ups are into Windows XP-Pro. I'm setting up a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) on a dual purpose...
