Sending in the Clones
Oct. 29th, 2011 09:20 amI got to Fernley just before 7 PM last night, and with Game 7 of the World Series on the radio (good to know there's a sport/talk station out of Reno that I can get here in Fernley), proceeded to start cloning hard drives.
( Much computer neepery )
If the fault is in the docking station, it will be a pity. Because Menlo/Con-way has been moving from D-series to E-series laptops, and the E-series isn't compatible with the D-series docks, until recently the "boneyard" has been full of surplus equipment out of which I probably could have snagged a used D-series dock. But with Con-way having moved to Ann Arbor, much of that stuff has vanished for various reasons, either sold, scrapped, or transported to Michigan. It's annoying to have to spend money for something that I could have had for nothing three months ago.
