Using floppies or cd's doesn't really matter does it ? same result , anyone can do it either way, a motherboard can be tested in 5 minutes easily, so can every other part of a computor system.
I don't have to worry about PN pain caused by stress these days, i have NO PAIN, i have been lucky enough to have reversed my PN and i am certainly not stressed out by any means, but i don't like the idea of anyone treating good people badly, thats is my reason for what i posted.
have a nice day/night what ever it is in your part of the world.

Not by everyone...have to have the proper tools to do an accurate diagnosis...Testing a server is different from testing an upright/desktop.

Also, if I read things correctly, BT is colo'ed and he may not have had immediate access. I have a friend who has a colo and it takes him a day to get to where it is...plus testing can take several days and he is a pro. Liz

Dear Liz, i have had my little moan which i think i am entilted to, just like everyone else that has expressed their views, i wrote what i believe to be true, i might not have been 100% spot on, but i am sure i wasn't to far away from what really happened.
I have built my last 2 computors and fix friends ones, which is no big deal, most school kids could probably build one a lot quicker than me, i do know a computor pro as well, and he laughed and laughed when i told him what we were suppose to believe from JL, he said " your having me on aren't you "? so thats all i am going to comment on this thread, this is going no were.
Have a nice day or night were ever you are in this silly world we live in
