Hope
Marc and I went to the computer store this afternoon. I guess that right around the corner here in Michigan is like the distance from my house to downtown Newark, or about fifteen minutes. Anyway, the guy at the shop is going to recover all the data from my hard drive and copy it to a hard drive that Marc brought with him. The pain is going to be that the program that is being used does not maintain directory structure, so I will have to sort through all of my files to find the ones that I want to keep. Not only that, but I think that the program doesn’t give them their correct filenames either, just the correct extensions, so it could take a very long time to find the files that I want to keep. At least they will survive. I might go ahead and save an image of my hard drive to Garrett’s computer anyway before I format it so I have that to reference against. That is assuming that I can get an adapter first. I should be able to pick it up Wednesday. For now, my laptop is sitting on my desk without a hard drive, a sad shell of what it once was.
