Scsi drives are also made with more heavy duty parts that the ide drives. the standard warranty for ide is 1 year; the standard is 5 years for scsi. I've seen many cheap ide drives die in a year or two, but my scsi drives get much more of a workout in database servers and such, but just keep on going. I usually end up throwing out a perfectly good scsi drive because the technology is outdated, not because the drive dies. This durability alone makes the scsi worth the difference in price for me. Also the ide raid controlers suck. The cheapest scsi raid controllers work much better than some of the more expensive ide controllers ive seen.
I know this is way off topic of the original subject and will probably be trolled down, but i just had to respond to the troll parent. IMO, the artifical inflation of stock prices during the late 90's caused by the mass amounts of corporate financial scandal partially caused the current condition of the economy now. The economy was on a downslide before bush took office. I suppose that was Bush's fault also even though he was not in office yet. Probably all the trouble california got in with davis is somehow also Bush's fault in your mind. Add acts of war by terrorists and what do you expect? Do you think there is a way to have a good economy with all of this? He is trying hard and if you have a better plan id like to hear it. I do not consider Dean's 'plan' where we become a pacifist nation despite hostilites around the world an option either. We are at war now. We had to rebuild our defenses to fight this war because clinton downsized the military so much and made us vulnerable. Economic changes dont happen overnight. Especially with war going on. Policys take more than a couple of years before their effect is fully realized on the economy. Enough of my rant.
I read this same silly theory in 'Behold a Pale Horse' by William Cooper (a complete cult evil government conspiracy theorist bible) several years ago. According to him, this was designed to cause a widespread panic and make people think the end was coming to bring in the 'new world order' of Orwellian government. The star was already named 'Lucifer'. According to him though, the probe was origionally supposed to go down in the atmosphere in Dec. 1999 i believe.
Every time i try to find something on Microsoft's support web page it always spits out bad results. It waits a long time and gives me an irrelevant answer which has nothing to do with what i want. Even if i type in the exact article title i am looking for it cant find it. Google seems to have a better index of Microsoft's web page than Microsoft itself does. Also, the results the msn search engine gives is obviously weighted towards people who pay and Microsoft's own interests. How do they expect to compete?.
