There is that old saying that sometimes it will look better in the morning. That is true in my case - as I came to work 1.5 hours early and was able to recover, I think, all my HTML data files and most of my email. The in, out and personal mailboxes are toast. Fortunately there too, I'd pushed out the stuff from about mid to early March elsewhere so perhaps only a month's worth of mail for those catergories is gone. Queries and attachments though are safe - and for that and 2 large files I was working on - I am extremely grateful. The remainder of the day will involve getting setup for a new hard drive and all that that entails - but a valuable lesson learned - back up your data early and often and in duplicity! ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net
