Hi Gang !

I have been "working" all day ( doing ebay stuff literally all day ), and I
get a smile on my face everytime I inadvertantly hit the mouse for the 76i,
and the hard drives spin up. (2). Who would have thunk that the "old" Model
76 running Win95C would "go to sleep", and actually power down the hard
drives. Maybe I forgot, but I thought you had to have an ACPI compliant or
similar motherboard for this feature. Wow. It just clicked off a drive
while I was typing this. ( I needed the horsepower of a Whizzbang for what
I'm doing today )

bobwatts the pleased. ( sorry Tim )
