They're probably homeless due to how selfish and shitty the large majority of people are to others (this post being a prime example, IMHO). I cannot blame anybody for trying to escape this crappy excuse of a life where your worth is determined by how much "value" the overly aggressive & insatiably leeching "leaders of industry" can wring out of you.

I don't use drugs or even drink, but I sure AF want to escape this hellhole excuse for an existence (and would if I didn't have others dependent upon my support), so I can only imagine that goes infinitely moreso for those who've reached that level of despair.

BTW I won't give this an upvote even if that's what's expected. This is a truly shitty attack on people who are already having more than enough challenges in their lives.

Ahhh, the "I'm so desperate for attention that I'll force you to listen to MY music on the enclosed bus/train" era. The escalating crescendo that inevitably occurred when competing boomboxes battled it out for supremacy was migraine-inducing. One of the few things I don't miss about the '80s.

Are you sure the drive heads are properly aligned? I don't remember the program name, but I vaguely remember loosening the stepper motor on my drive and ever so slightly moving it to get the drive heads aligned. The program included a reference disk for analyzing the alignment, so that may not be an option here.

Get a Bluetooth version. Those USB dongles regularly go bad (ask me how I know), and the remote becomes useless without it.
