f*****g hardware
man, did I step on someones grave. My eternal hard drive died this morning( only 2 months old) My main work laptop died only 3 weeks ago.

Re: f*****g hardware
yeah I did burn a dvd a while ago and have most of the important stuff like base meshes/textures backed up. It was stuff like reference and mp3's, but still really I don't need this stuff right now. yup it was a western digital:(
