That's great news.  Of course, the obvious solutions sometime 
escape me.  I was trying to avoid copying the whole 90 minute 
news report for a 5 minute clip.  That seems trivial now.  Crap!

Funny, hadn't thought of being on the news as negative, but that's a 
pretty good point.

Oh, I never said anything bad about RAID 5.  Looking at a 3ware 
card right now that might do the job.
