I have an HP 48G that (I believe) hasn't lost its state since I got it in '94 or '95. Its not the same as uptime, per se, but its built pretty tough. it also has ridiculously low power consumption. Not as low as an abacus, but close :) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Donovan <dniesen at gmail.com> Sender: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:54:22 To: TCLUG Mailing List<tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Reply-To: TCLUG Mailing List <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] uptime (was: USB external drive slowness) On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 9:31 PM, Dean E <dean at ripperd.com> wrote: > > > On 7/14/2010 1:20 PM, Eric F Crist wrote: >> On Jul 14, 2010, at 13:00:06, Mike Miller wrote: >> >> >>> One is Western Digital and the other is Samsung.
