Re: [orca-list] Speech Problems in Gnome Terminal and Console

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

The 101 on external hard drives goes this way.
1) external hard drives will live for a maximum of five years before 
dying even with the best of care due to the low quality data coating on 
the disks.
2) best possible care of external hard drives includes keeping them off 
unless a backup or restore operation is needed.
3) external hard drives should never be attached to a system during 
installation.
4) preparation of an external hard drive needs to happen while no 
network resources are active to prevent it from being infested with 
malware.

5) backup and restore operations need to happen with no network resources 
active best disconnected.
Probably some points I forgot but this is what I was taught about external 
hard drives and their care from those who work with them professionally 
every day and who passed their knowledge along to me.
