Hi Bob,

My pleasure. Don't get complacent though. The H/W diagnostics (SMART) in the 
HDDs which SMARTReporter uses may not be able to detect disk failures more 
than a few minutes ahead time instead of hours. You might not have enough 
time to get home. Backup, backup, backup...

Regards,
Spencer
