Bingo. For my daughters' two drivers tests & trips to get their permit, we went 30 mins out of town to the next one over. A much quicker and easier operation, even including driving time. Plus, it gave me an excuse to get an ice cream with them. :)

One nice thing about AAA is that you can do some DMV services there. We did a transfer of ownership there; so much quicker than waiting at our local DMV.

Its going to act as the data drive for the family desktop.

Since you're trying to diagnose what (might have) happened, here's another scenario--possibly the filter was changed, but they gave you an old filter that had been sitting around for years. As others are saying, I would look at the date code. And beyond that, if your schedule permits, I'd...

My concern was basically if it would wear down the drive, being plugged in 24/7.

I am looking for a replacement desktop for wifey. She saves tons of pics & videos (she's the family photographer), and she is maxing out a Tb on her documents partition as it is. Most computer makers on their sites, only offer up to 2 tb hard drives; I was hoping to get 4. I'm wondering--would...

I only moved to the 3600 a few years back, because the 3614 seemed to have a disproportionate number of tears & stuff like the above here. Well I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what mine look like.....

The 3600 line was my last hope for Frams. If either of the two TG3600s look like that when I take them off later this year, I'm sworn off fram.

Very good point. I'll go back and do that. Thanks everyone, IPA worked fine and the light was on last night.

That's another option. I'll go see how much length there is....
