What kind of sick bastard would do that to a sock monkey???
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Okay, so I'm looking at buing some new internal hard drives for my Dell desktop. How do I tell exactly what kind of interface I'll need, and just how much does it matter?
Looking at my device manager, I have an Ultra ATA controller. Does that mean I can only use Ultra ATA drives? If so, Seagate or Western Digital?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Seagate all the way. But, it's been my experience, that everyone you talk to has had a horror story with some HD and swears by the other.
When in doubt, check the warranties on the perspective drives. Many Seagates have 5 year warranties. Last I checked, WD had 2 or 3 year. Just something to consider.

I buy nothing but Seagate currently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gah!
SoCal residents, how is your switch to Time Warner Cable going? I'm looking at the channel listing, and that's not what's on the TV. The channels below 100 are not matching the card, nor what TiVo now thinks it knows.
They yammer on their site about the magic of duplicating channels, so I'm telling TiVo that I don't get the ones below 100, one by one. Then it finds them higher and uses those channel numbers instead.
This is STUPID. And I know I just jacked up my TiVo channel settings by trying to correct it in the guided setup.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We don't have Tivo but our cable connection's new trick is (instead of going out completely from time to time like it used to) going on and off in one second bursts. On the plus side I am watching a lot less TV!

Thanks for the recs, guys. But what about my ATA question. Do I have to buy Ultra ATA only?

I spent an hour reprogramming my channels to display and I still have 3 TNTs. I think that says it all.

Thanks for the recs, guys. But what about my ATA question. Do I have to buy Ultra ATA only?
Any parallel ATA drive will work. Basically any ATA drive that isn't SATA (serial ATA).
