her: "be careful what you post on FB"
me:"why whats on there" (thinking i got hacked or something)
her: "my mom just called about 30 times, when i finally got the call she asked if you were in the hospital"
me: "huh why"
her: "my cousin saw your post and called my mom thinking you cut yourself with a chain saw"
me: (uncontrollable lafter) "what is she retarded"
her:"its not funny they thought you hurt yourself"
me "if i cut my self with a chainsaw why would i post on FB"

my FB post
"will somebody please explain to my brain that i just severed a main vein with a chainsaw and im in pain"

i know alot of you wont recognize a eminem lyric but its funny as hell

Ah, the joys of cybernetic archeology. I'm replacing a disk drive in a server that was purchased in 1997.

That is, purchased in 1997 as used hardware. It'd already had a productive service life.

My cell phone has as much storage as this disk drive.

I am guessing it did not get much use? No hard drive I have used ever lasted that long?

Actually, it's been pretty well hammered since installation. It's processed a lot of terabytes of information over the years.

Any chance I get to work this summer when I'm in town I'm going to because so many people are off or trying to get off for days in the summer.

I have managed to squeak a week off in July for the UMC at the Badlands...which should be a great weekend.

Mac, what date is that?

Thats pretty impressive, guessing it was an ATA HD?

<chuckle> Not in this environment. SCSI LVD hot swap. No ATA, IDE, or SATA in my world, it's all SCSI (legacy servers only,) SAS or Fibre Channel for connectivity. The new storage systems (200+ terabytes of available storage,) has both traditional rotating mag media as well as some SSD for the high transaction environments.

The old storage system had 96gb of cache RAM in front of it. Not sure what the new systems have, I suspect it's probably 4 times as much or more.
