Glad to hear it!

I would like to mention that these drives actually came from my employer, 
IMP Solutions (http://www.impsolutions.com), as part of our policy of 
reusing useful hardware for open source projects (these drives had been 
used for something like 15 hours as the original customer realised the 
drives weren't big enough).

I would ask anyone in Canada or the US to consider IMP Solutions for 
computing hardware, software or IT project support, as the more people 
hire us/buy hardware from us as a result of open source, the more my 
employer is willing to donate to open source. If you do contact us, 
please mention to the salesperson that you're calling as a result of our 
OSM support, and mention my name.

Contact details are at http://www.impsolutions.com/contactus.asp for both 
our Halifax (Nova Scotia) and Ottawa offices.

Cheers, Steve
