yeah i used to do this. however now i pay my own bills and the thought of leaving a transformer pluged in all night with the kids in bed doesn't feel good.

if i had an external HDD then this would be a different thing all together.

Chris you are an sysadmin i asume from what you have in your sig. i would say this is your passion, mine is to just use the pc. i did used to have a passion for how it worked and how to make it better but distraction has taken me from that point and i much prefer to plug and play so to speak !!

i used to be a car mechaninc and i still have a passion for cars however i don't like fixing my own very much. i don't mind the challenge of finding a fault when a mate has a problem but i don't activly seek to assist anymore.

different strokes for different folks

I think i have digressed a little. sorryeeee

Cheers

David
