Let’s hear it for Compaq!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Ok at least for today let’s hear it for Compaq getting that hard drive to me by 9:30 this morning and allowing me to get the machine re-imaged and updated and patched and ready to go by 2:00PM. That rocks. The only bad news was that the .pst file got corrupted in the move and I wasn’t able to import back in the old email to the new drive. After I ran the Inbox Repair Tool, there was nothing left to import. I hate it when that happens! (I still think we need an Exchange Server so we don’t have this problem. Can you believe we still use MS Mail?) Oh well, not having the messages can be overcome, she was just happy that I got the contacts imported correctly. That would have been work!
