Hence that old quip, "Only YOU know how valuable your data is". I wonder, does the $2500 cover the cost of one of their techs disassembling the drive in a clean room and trying to tease bits off the bare platters? (Do they even still use that approach or has the retrieval technology moved on to other approaches?) -irrational john, whose data is mostly probably not even worth the cost of the drives I buy ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
