   BACK UP THAT DRIVE IMMEDIATELY! You are NOT supposed to open them
up normally-- they are in an airtight seal for a reason: dust and
other junk can disrupt normal operation. Back stuff up ASAP, and do
not store anything important on that drive.

   And while you're at it, configure your newsreader properly such
that your email address is listed. Currently, it's broken:
