Just a little FYI tidbit:
My main home PC, for about a year, has had a 160 GB hard drive in it. Because of limitations with my motherboard, it was set up as a 137 GB drive with an extra partition. Using special software, I tried to merge both partitions into one drive letter to failing results.
To make a long story short, I decided to make use of my onboard RAID controller and use two 120 GB hard drives in a RAID 0 configuration instead of relying on a single drive (my controller recognizes the 120 GB size). With both hard drives working together, not only does the performance increase, I can have a single partition with 240 GB of space. Pretty cool, huh?
Needless to say, my attention has been placed on my home computer for some time now. I use my home PC to make DVDs and one of the things I needed to do was convert my Pyramid tape to DVD for better reference. Once all that stuff gets set up, I think we'll see Pyramid progress along much faster than it has this past month.
