Hello everybody,
Days ago I asked about a hard disk on a friend's laptop.
Your advice helped me to decide and at the end everything worked like charm.
So thank you very much for your comments and help!

Outside every court house in the USA there is a man detector.
If you enter the court house as a man an alarm sounds.
You might as well unfasten your belt because you'll be over a barrel shortly, squealing like a piggy.
I know a man who has just been ordered to pay more in alimony and child support than he makes.
This is after he was kicked out of his house with little more than a suit case of clothing.
You read that right - he has to pay more than he makes.
His lawyer told him to take out a loan.
I'm not sure what the court thinks he'll live on or how he's supposed to buy gas to get to work.
I guess the court cannot be bothered with that nonsense.

It gets worse... if he doesn't pay, and she sues for the child support, he'll go to jail even though there is no debtor's prison in the USSA.

There is, and it's called The White House.

A one-sided story. Let me guess, the alimony was determined when the man was still wealthy, and he decided to quit his job to avoid paying alimony?

He has the same job he's had for the past 10 years.
Anyone who doesn't think our court system can be this grossly unfair has no experience with our court system.

Although this case is a little extreme it is common for the male to get the shot end of the stick. I went through a very bitter divorce and was ordered to pay a large sum of money to my ex, that's why I quit programming computers for many years!
Let me clear up a few things so y'all don't think I'm a deadbeat dad; I helped raise my son and he never wanted for anything even though I never paid my ex any child support. I live with him and his wife now so that I can remodel the house they just bought.

That's easy. Go on "extended vacation" to a country without extradition to the US.

Yeah, I used to wonder about people who'd skip town.
I thought they were all bad people.
I'm starting to think some of them simply got shafted.

I've seen the same thing. The guy in question had the same job for 10 years, so there was a clear record of income. Court still awarded more then he made, even seen his pay checks that are negative (union dues still come out no matter what) or for just a couple of bucks.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

... He doesn't earn much money, only 5,000 per
Some judge who thinks he's funny says "You pay 6 to her"
Now he says "Judge? Suppose I fail?"
The judge says "Budge right into jail.
You better keep her. I think it's cheaper
than making whoopie."

I was just writing to Mrs Wife about dinner and I thought I'd do some Almás Pita as a pudding, but I wrote "[...] some pub if you're good".
Honestly, I did mean to write pud. Though now you come to mention it...

Letting you down?
I'd say they're doing you a favour, in the expectations department.

Good read. Not sure which one I am though. I have Win8 at home, and I enjoy it.

Me neither.
I'm somewhere between 4, 5, 6, and 7.
6 because I have only used Win 8 once, on my brother's new laptop when he was having a problem, and it annoyed the sh*t out of me. Haven't touched one since.
5 because at home I hardly use a computer anymore, the aging laptop can go weeks without being turned on and mostly just grab for a tablet if want to do any browsing.
7 because if I did get Win 8 history tells me I would try to make it work like my computer did before.
4 is probably more likely than 7, but until I get my hands on one it could go either way.
