         I think you guys are not thinking right. You all are 
maintaining computers for a business and you know you can't just use a 
software. It will die sometime. I am certain 8.04 will die sometime but 
it is not certain when. I will use it until it does. I will not backup 
8.04 so it will die when this hard drive goes away.
