After months of searching for a Nintendo Wii, I finally found one at Wal*Mart. So I bought it - along with some extra controllers and a memory card. I got it home and unpacked it. Everything that I needed to get started was included in the box - although I would have preferred to have component video cables instead of a composite one. The hookup was simple enough. I plugged in the power cable, the composite A/V cable, and the sensor bar cable. I put the batteries in the wireless remote, turned the Wii on, and it powered right up. Everything was going great until it was time to get the Wii online.

Since the data is stored magnetically, you should never allow magnets near a hard drive. Or else your data may become corrupt. Since a hard drive is a mechanical device, something will eventually go wrong with it and it will die. Because of this, you should always keep backups of important data in a safe place |
