Yes. In a recent thread I have been elaborating that for the past
week my Thinkpad has developed into being a serious slowpoke turtle.

And only rather late, I get some solid indications of complaints about
the hard drive. General access failure on drive C. And a long suite of
messages about bad clusters on the drive. It hasn't been too much more
descriptive.

Windows 98 was installed. So right now, she won't go. She won't lead
out to sea. She won't even leave the anchor mooring. I feel sure that
the boat could sail. But there are some rough patches have developed.
And she'll hit ground right where you expected it was all deep water.
Some folks feel I shouldn't sail out in such stormy weather. But there
is a load of freight. And it could reach a destination. Even if it
can't reach Japan for top dollar.

The boat is too torn up to sail too far. So I have to consider if
she's set out far at sea, there may be more hull damage. And steering
may be lost as well. It was out at sea only this weekend. It can
float. But there is some trouble leaving the harbour.

We've now received maps of some alternate routes. We might just want
to take a small craft, and see if some of these routes are
traversable, and free of major dangers, or white water.
