Nice. I have the GCD-750 CDP. At the time I had a chance to but that preamp and did not. I have regretted it several times over the years ...like right now.
Wow dude, that is quite lucky all things considered. Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
Today I slept, a little, dig further diagnostics on my injured PC, priced out replacement parts, and concluded I am buying a 1TB LaCie drive to back up my digital life.

This reminds me of this exchange from Porky's:
Tim: Anybody wanna go fly a kite with me tonight? I hear it's great weather for flying KITES! I wonder if there's any KITES around here we can fly!
Brian Schwartz: Hey listen, Cavanaugh. It's not kite, it's KIKE! K-I-K-E, "kike." You know, you're too stupid to even be a good bigot!
Cracked my head really hard on the underside of my desk. I feel a bit nauseous, and my head is of course pounding.
I also, uh, apparently killed my PC when I attempted to install my new optical drive.
Some days it does not pay to get out of bed.
10/15/08 - 3:30PM - Velvia 50 - EF 17-40mm F/4L @ 17mm, F/5.6 1/90th + circular polarizer. I'm really not happy with the job Iris Photo did scanning the three rolls of Velvia 50 I gave them. I'm sufficiently annoyed that I'm now in the market for a slide scanner.
