The old disk is now at the suppliers and they're doing a forensic recovery
which might regain the essential stuff.

How much is this going to cost? I have 3 old hard drives with some
stuff I would like to see again(some art work I did in another
incarnation) but the last time I checked it was too expensive


I've backed up some things on CDs but don't know how to back up e-mails -
and since most of my mailing isn't social or ngs it's important.

I use a gmail account to back up some of my favorites and .ini files and
some other stuff that is hard to re-create, just email to myself and
archive it.

I back up everything on a fairly regular basis now on a desktop HD.
It's capacity is larger than my system HD and they are getting really
cheap now. About 2 years ago, I paid $100.00 for an 80 gig external
drive. My system HD is only 60 gigs.

Yes, it's an antique. g
