About 10 weeks ago, I was working on the drives on my HP9000 and severly
sprained my lower back. I have been weight training for many years and was
lifting correctly. A little turn in the wrong direction and OUCH!!!

When asked what happened, I told everyone at work that I hurt myself
installing a hard drive in my computer. Most of the guys laughed and called
me a wuss. :-)

BTW: I'd guess those drives weigh about 125# each.
