Old computer as good as dead. New computer secured. All data, however, still remains beyond my grasp. All data. Every word ever written (yes, even my external backup has failed and the data eludes me) is unavailable to me. Did I mention...all data? I'm still holding out hope for it to rise up and claim its rightful place on my new computer and various other backup devices that perhaps will not fail me in the future.
Back later this week with the promised goods. And bads.
