Listening to this two years later. It's quite good. And who knew it is antivenin, not antivenom?

I think the Muffits image better.

Article, yes. Recipe, no.

Does anyone have a suggestion for good software (free or otherwise) for cloning a more than half empty 1T windows drive to a smaller (512GM) drive, including the boot stuff, recovery partition, etc?

Happy birthday!
