| The result - my fate-tempting went unrequited, with nothing further being destroyed. The hard-drive successfully formatted and appears usable, though with "1.34Mb in bad sectors". As I gather, this is something that's liable to result in more bad sectors coming soon, so that'll be a drive to not use for anything important. I mostly didn't anyway; it's been labelled, somewhat ironically, 'scratch' for months anyway.

| Use it to house a windows box's virtual memory. It should be usuable for that a lot longer than it will be usuable for storage. |

| I don't know though. Can you really use the word 'unrequited' in this instance? It's most often used to refer to love, personally my favourite form of love as it is so undemanding and yet so romantic. When used to refer to love, unrequited can be understood as unreciprocated, not returned. So you are saying that your fate-tempting was not returned in kind. So fate didn't tempt you to destroy things? Or something? |

| I can. I did. And fate didn't tempt me to destroy things. But, more to the point, it was obvious what I meant, even if I couldn't remember the word... er... whatever-word-it-was-that-I-should-have-used. |

| Damn. You've made me forget whatever-word-it-was-that-you-should-have-used. I think it started with 'elephant' though. And went on to include 'trampling' and 'tulips'. |
