I hate to ask this, but I would like to request something of you out there
who have read my rambles over the years. I have experienced some serious
hard drive problems of late and the 398 essays that I had already copied
and sent to myself over the course of the last two years has been lost
completely. All I'm asking is if you have any of my writings (rambles)saved
to e-mail them to me. And before you say to go to the archives and
rec.gardening, I have, and I am. It's slow going. I had enough to do one
book, and there are enough rambles and pieces to make two or three books!
I am serious about this now. If there is no one out there who has any
writings or rambles I understand. I'm facing LOTS of research and transfer
time to replace what I so painstakingly had gathered up (and it wasn't a
drop in the bucket!) Thanks for anything ya'll can do.

Sorry I have read a few but have nothing saved. There are professional
organizations who specialise in retrieving data from what appear to be dead
disks.
