Narrowboat Alacrity

It would be easier to get Blood out of a Stone than get a refund from my local computer shop.

Well the saga of the Netgear storage unit is over, The Computer shop finaly admitted defeat, It took them 2 days and a change of hard drive manufacturer to get the Bloody thing working so what chance did I have…………………

My argument that it was not fit for purpose, siting the “Easy installation instructions” NOT. and could they gurantee that my data would be stored safely, had them……………Result a refund…………….and a dare I say happy “Grumpy Old Man”

Lately Ive been pondering on getting some network storage for my computer system so I can back up my pictures and website.

looking in my local computer shop I saw the Netgear SC101T which looked to fit the bill so I bought one and two 500 gig drives to put in it.

If i’d only read the reports on the web about it I wouldnt have bothered……….what a total lump of wasted space suffice to say it worked when it wanted, it stopped my computers talking to each other, it seemed to just appear then disappear at will and after spending a whole day trying all the permutations I gave up………

In a foul temper and only put of from smashing it up by the chance of returning it and getting my money back………………I decided that it was beer time…….
