[nfbcs] any experience with JAWES and open office

[Jude DaShiell]

One recommendation for that new computer; at least a 4tb hard drive, 
along with an additional drive sled.  The drive sled can be used to 
store data and remove the data from the computer until needed again.  If 
you could find a version of windows that could be installed on a drive 
in a drive sled, I'd recommend two drive sleds with one holding the 
operating syste3m disk.  That so when windows gets a virus you can't 
clear and the technicians at the shop can't clear either you or they can 
send the hard disk in for ferensics investigation and get it cleared 
while you use another disk in that first drive sled.  Those 1tb drives 
were nice three years ago but are now small.
