RIAD Storage Server
Even though I have two 200GB hard drives in my Windows XP workstation (in addition to the 72GB “system” drive), my hard disk space was being comsumed with media (avi, mpeg, wav, mp3, etc.). One of the 200GB drives was dedicated to online backup but I had no good way take the buckups offline (i.e. […]
Flight Training Device

In June we attended President Reagan’s funeral in the Nation’s capitol. The crowds were huge. After watching the funeral procession move up Constitution toward the Capitol building, I walked down the Mall to wait in line to go into the Capitol. As you left the Rotunda, they handed out a card commemorating the event.
