Thats the real problem, the people think on one easy button solutions maybe thats the difference between an engineer and the most people "newbies" :roll: well im not talking about career im talking thinking like an "engineer" , im know u salvation u are doing a good job, but u not always should solve the problems from the clients, they should "think" on first , if they dont think, they dont learn thats on my IMHO, and if they dont learn u always get the client asking & asking, because he dont learn by self & never undestand how really the HDD works , like i always told are Tools not magic wizards.

Regards
