i feel I should explain. I didn't lose any data. The reason I want to
swap a hard drive out is because i got a bigger one from my father. The
OS/2 that I run is crammed on a 40 Meg hard drive, And I want to have
more breathing room. i still don't know what caused my computer to stop
working, but i have been able to get it partially up. (But I had to use
a back up copy of my desktop which didn't include any of the internet
applications. So I am still resorting to telnet connection to read/reply
to mail. But it is very slow. i very often overun My cursor. Reading
is easier, but writing is, as you see, still possible.
