I'm mostly a Lurker on Darkmatters, but do try to follow most of the topics that gestate on the board. Sometimes I even participate. I haven't been a member all that long, but I remember playing Sacred using a copy I had to purchase from the UK because it wasn't available in the US yet.
I like having a 512GB SSD as my boot drive on the PC I built but recently it has decided to not recognize the SSD sometimes and tries to boot from the 4TB data only harddrive. When it first happened, I panicked. Now I just go into BIOS and reset everything. I suppose I should get a spare SSD and make a copy but having heard there is an i9 intel processor, I want to get one of those.
We also have iffy power here in the US, though I imagine not quite as bad as in South Africa. I have everything important on individual UPS boxes. It gives me a feeling of security to know that my electronics are protected.
