Sounds okay to me. Hard drives are easy to install.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What kind of hard drive? $98CDN seems like a lot to me for a regular IDE-type internal 80 gig drive.

Sigh. The first one is not available online. And we don't have Circuit City in Canada.
And... Amazon won't ship Computer items to Canada.
ETA: So much for NAFTA.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Amazon won't ship Computer items to Canada.
Yeah, can't let all that "high tech" get into the hands of you "foreigners..."

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Sue, why not ship it to someone in the US, and have them ship it up to you?

I've thought about it Gandalfe. My only worry is that, according to the IT guys at work, any warranties aren't valid outside the US.

Your tag here.
to find unbalanced '{ }' brackets?
tommyrot, I'm sure there must be a utility or two out there, but what I've done in the past is comment out chunks of code until functionality is restored (i.e. it compiles or tries to execute). Once you've done that, you can narrow down within the last block of code that you commented out where the problem lies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
but what I've done in the past is comment out chunks of code until functionality is restored (i.e. it compiles or tries to execute).
Yeah, there's that.
In this particular case I think it'll be easier to take an older version that I know works, and do a file comparison with the new version and add the changes in one-by-one until it breaks.
eta: Ugh. Found it. It was where I commented out a 'try - catch' block for testing - I commented out an extra '}'. The thing is, I thought that might have been the problem yesterday, so I looked at that twice and didn't see it.
My brain - she is not so much a steel trap....
