No prob. You don't want to download YENC-encoded files, fine. It's your
system, your newsfeed, your personal requirements. I certainly can't reach
over to your machine and force you to change. (Well, I could, because I know
that your IP is 96.52.176.71, and I know you're running Windows, and I know
you're using MSOE which is a backdoor-infested piece of crap and easily
subverted, but I won't 'cause that would be illegal.)

Just don't try to tell others what they can or can't do. You will be laughed
at, as you have no power to enforce your wishes.

Some of us post using nothing but YENC for several reasons. These would
include efficiency; YENC makes smaller files than other encoding systems.
And, of course, as those who insist on using MSOE and refuse to get hold of
the free or cheap methods of reading YENC files from MSOE like to bitch and
moan about it, every YENC post produces considerable entertainment.

And, again... the 'good Jpeg pics' you like so much are encoded text. _All_
binaries, including all pics, on USENET are encoded text. It's just that MSOE
can read some encoding methods but not others.

I'm looking right at two machines running Vista (Vista Business on one, Vista
Home Premium on the other) both of which have external drives currently
attached (one each FireWire, plus for the Business machine two USB and for
the HP machine one USB). One (the HP machines) is a Toshiba laptop and one
(the Business machine) is a home-built full-size tower. The tower also has
several internal hard drives: one 500 GB attached to SATA for booting, and
three 750 GB also on SATA in a RAID 5 array.

It would appear that whatever faults Vista may have (and it has many), being
unable to handle multiple hard drives is not among them.

The problem is not only Yenc! And Yenc is a problem because I do not want to
add a yenc reader on my already overcrowded old PC. But that is my problem.
When somebody floods the group with a lot of pictures in most of the cases
not more than one half of the pieces show on my PC. There are always some
parts missing and it is impossible for me to open the damn things with
whatsoever software. I lose this way many pics and who posted them, for me
to see them, wasted his time. Thanks to Mitch and all those who continue to
post simple Jpg etc. I lost all of Br'er Rabid
o and most of J3
So is up to you.

That's not a YENC problem, that's a multi-part post problem. And the solution
to that is twofold:

1 get a good newsfeed that doesn't drop parts of posts

2 if the poster also posts .PARs, download the .PARs and use them to
reassemble the pix. I _always_ post .PARs when I post multipart files.

WDs die easily. I've had multiple WD external drives (from the My Book
series) die over the last six months, while Seagate, Maxtor, and LaCie
drives, all of them older than the WDs, still live. As the WDs die I'm
replacing them with Seagates and LaCies.

I have a several WDs with no failures after long term use Maxtors have at
least 10% failure rate The seagate I have run fine after long use. LaCie I
only kno by rep and the are among the best

I had a WD MyBook external die on me a few months ago, too - the first
hard drive death I've had in twenty years. Internal WDs seem to work
quite happily for me.

I.m not talking about drives, My comment was about Xmail
