I harvested a hard drive out of a Linux machine I wasn’t using to replace my dead disk in my main machine. I discovered the dead disk was an IBM Deathstar. “Son of a..!” came flying from my mouth.

See, problems with an IBM 60 gig hard drive are very well known and well documented. In fact, I had one of these die on me 3 years ago. I knew what to expect. And I knew I needed to replace it. But it must have slipped my mind shortly after I acknowledged that I had a shit drive in my computer.

Luckily, though, the infested disk is now out of my machine. All is well again in the Jason Complex.
