Daan, I don't know if the GR thing is it but it sure sounds interesting. Do you know how long it's been around? I got the info on the vague package I posted from some one in Bangkok. They said, to someone else, there is a program that imports test data directly from component supplier data sheets, or the stuff that went into them, and renders long term reliability data from them, or some such thing. A bit confusing considering how this message got to me and from where it came in the first place. Have a question for you and other computer wizards. My new hard drive seems flakier than the others it replaced. Goes belly up once in awhile. Checked for viruses, as I do very often and have my guard up all the time, and no cigar. No problem replacing it again, if needed, but does anyone know what would wipe out my inbox messages in Outlook Express? They vanished on my last reboot.
