You totally deserve a stiff drink. I'm sorry to hear of your data loss.

I just went and had dinner and alcohol. Now that I'm home, more alcohol will be had.
C'est la vie. At least it doesn't take too much thought to install software on a new hard drive.

I have a pair of Mirrored harddrives on my main computer at home where all this stuff is kept. That way if I loose a drive due to a mechanical fault, I'm protected.

It is of course, spilt milk for you.

I'd moved the stuff over and had redeployed my current external backup for a temporary project with the plan being to pick up a new external as a backup. I just hadn't got to the part where I got the new external yet.

So it goes.

That was me a month ago (though I had much less stuff). I've learned to live without, and rely on youtube for those "gotta hear" songs.

Ouch. Massive suckage, my friend.

I know you had bunches of pictures.

I've managed to recover some from my old external drive, but not as many as I would like.
That's the way it goes some times and you just have to roll with the punches.

Ug. Yes, that happened to me a few years ago and is downright horrendous. No doubt worse for you since you have 10+ years of pictures stored up.
I am really, really sorry.

Hope you enjoyed that drink!

I'm not sure that I'm enjoying that drink now. BUt, yes, I think I did a few hours ago.
My lawn people are here. That's not what I need right now. Ugh.
I had two great pictures of you that I just checked and found that didn't recover. Now I'm really sad :-(
