Yup, the timing couldn't be better! A few nice days for the virus writers to send out some exploits over the holidays, workers comes back January 3 - PCs powered off over the break and not updated - and check their email first thing. Ought to be an *interesting* new year.
Another will-never-buy-or-allow-even-my-worst-enemy-to-pur chase Maxtor hard drives here. After two years at a busy university computer store doing warranty work on the machines sold through the store, as well as on student non-name computers, I got pretty tired of spending 25% of my time on dead Maxtors. I saw 3-4 a week drop, anywhere from 3 months to 2 years old. Why none older? They'd already died. We stopped selling Maxtor drives - and I never saw any evidence that Maxtor had changed it's flawed design or manufacturing process.
It's not anecdotal - check out http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/maxtor-hard-disk-recov ery.htm for example why Maxtors are hated.
