Rebuilding

Rebuilding computers, that is.
We are a house of several computers. Exactly how many is dependent upon how many of the old ones we've thrown away.
Our desktop --- one of the two that LOML makes extensive use of --- had decided over the past few weeks that it would be more and more unlikely to work. Fortunately, I was able to identify this dubious behaviour early enough to copy our home directories onto another drive.

Today I upgraded the operating system on the desktop, and it appears that the reason things were breaking was that the hard drives are bad. As such I need to bite the bullet soon and buy another internal drive or two. For now, I need to make sure I keep all the dodgy or old parts running.

Yours, in techy mode,
