Right after I posted about how I thought it foolish that a Mac I worked
on did not report a SMART error...

I was working on a PC that one minute died and the next, the drive was
dead. No SMART error was reported.


The conclusion: Everything will fail.


My next project was adding a wireless card to a PC I'm going to give away.


Out of the 6 or so in my junk box, only got one working with Win7


When I let Windows search for the driver on-line...none were found
....but they are new enough that there should be support.


Just for the heck of it I tried another Win7 machine and all but one had
drivers .


What the heck?


My conclusion:

Time to take a break.
