|  How Cool Is My Boss!!!
Last year, I got my tax return, and with it I purchase an Seagate 40Gb NOTEBOOK HARD DRIVE and a USB 2.0 and FIREWIRE External Enclosure 
I use this thing a lot with work.
* Storage of fequently used programs, virus definitions / removal tools and driver files.
* Back up of customer's data when I have to format C
* Moving those rather large anime fan sub download that i use work's bandwidth to download.
I nick named it my "BOX OF TRICKS"
Anyways, some time in mid december 2004, I lost my BOX OF TRICKS. It was not in the office, and it was not anywhere at home. I suspect that it might of fell out of my bag on the train.
It was in my bag at home, but it was not there in the office.
Anyways, yesterday, just because I gave my boss a $50 Myers gift voucher, he give me a new USB 2.0 and FIREWIRE External Enclosure with a Fujitsu 60Gb Notebook 5400RPM Hard Drive!!
How cool is that!!!!!!
