It seems to be a Promise PCi/UltraATA-66 Hard drive controller card. Makes the hard drives work. You can plug it into a pci slot and probably hook 4 or maybe even 8 older hard drives to it.

There is that very old trick I mention occasionally. If all else fails, sometimes before attempting anything else, shut it down and power the entire thing off. I don't mean depress the power on/off button, I mean shut it down and unplug it for 15-20 minutes. Long ago, in a previous incarnation, I managed service for a million dollar computer. No way would it do what you hand held will do today, powering it off was SOP. I still do that occasionally. I lose my date and time in the lower right occasionally and the most sure way to get it back is the power down procedure. (I've an old TV that must be powered off every time it quites on its own. Then it will work for several more months. )

Thank you all for your many suggestions of type of info available and where to look. Would any of you be willing to speculate what might be going on in the following situation: A major developer bought a parcel of land for a major development (several hundred single family homes, some multi family units and rec facilities.) A gravel road to the parcel had a couple homes on it The developer is currently putting in the roads for the development and has paved the gravel road. This road will be the entrance to the development. The developer has recently bought (for about 150,000) and torn down one of the existing houses. The other existing house has been on the market for over a year (listed for 160,000 for a year reduced to 130,000 a few months ago). In speaking to the listing agent he said the developer had made a verbal offer in the past but never followed through on a written offer. I do not understand given they bought and tore down the house across the street for close to the original listing price of this house why they aren't buying this house. Any ideas why the developer is not buying this house or of a way to find out?

Thanks Jackie. That is one magnificient Anna Olivier. I am still confused as to the differences between Anna Olivier, Bermuda's Anna Olivier, and Schmidt's Buff Giant. HMF suggests they are the same and yet others disagree. I've read a lot of the comments about the Tea Ladies' book and it seemed to me that there was less history and more about descriptions of roses in commerce but not with the information on lineages that I seek. Still, I'd rather have it than not have it. The teas I am most drawn to have probably have some early hybrid tea and might not be so ideally suited to Florida. I have that instinctive knack for wanting what I can't have. BR Cant is great, and she is probably the most successful tea of all in Florida but I think it would be exceedingly rare for her to pass the age of 30. Also I have seen some enormous specimens (on Pam Greenwald's property--Angel Gardens) of Rozette Delizy and a few others, white-to-beige blooms, a full cup shape, and not much scent). They might have been pushing 20. The rest of those that find themselves on "recommended for Florida" can do well but most likely not as well as BR Cant. Aside from BR Cant, Dr. Manners recommends only grafted Teas. Worse, still, the teas that he does recommend comprise a very short list: Bon Silene Duchesse de Brabant Etoile de Lyon Maman Cochet Marie Van Houtte Mme. Lombard Mons. Tillier Mrs. B. R. Cant Papa Gontier (I have all but Bon Silene, Etoile de Lyon, and Marie Van Houtte). On the whole I think that teas prefer Mediterranean climates so it doesn't surprise me that they do so well in parts of California. Much better than in Florida, it seems! Chinas are happier here--the real Chinas, not the ones that are misclassified Bourbons, or the ones with HP or early HT injections or whatever. I just wish that I could get as worked up over them. They tend to have a more loose, informal flower as well as bush and they just don't thrill me. I've never squealed with delight or felt my heart skip a beat with a China.
