Yup is surely was.

And the investment in that unit - about $1500 for the drive and
$1500 for the computer was paid back in under 4 months as I got
business getting SW running for people when the techs at the
Shack said "you'll have to reformat it and start over".

Gawd what dweebs - but it made me a bit of money making things work
- and I even salvaged a customers system for them as they put me
in the back room as I worked on it at their store. Made some good
money on that - and it saved them from having to take a system
back under their 30 day no questions asked policy. After that I
got a lot of respect from the manager - who used to ignore me
because my beard and longish hair.

But the money was nice.
