Geez! All these sob stories makes me remember when I had MY big catastrophe. And this one was TRULY horrible!
I had like 6 years worth and 70 gigs of porn and then my hard drive went down and I was crying like for 6 months. It was worse than getting dumped by every girlfriend I ever had..........................................ok, I'm kidding but I had you going there didn't I.

Yeah, that's something else that has been lost. I have been working on a series of books; the first, a dark superhero-type thing, and the others a triology that tied in the first one and introduced a radical new idea on where humankind came from in the first place. In short: an awesome sci-fi series designed to be a screenplay eventually. I lost an assload when those went away.

*sigh*

I lost half of a 44 minute movie that I was making... thats about.... 50 hours of editing, 10 hours of shooting DV film, and my nevre. Luckily I finished the project before my HD went down and I had the VOB files for DVD burning. But now I cannot make any changes to it... its a bit annoying, but at least I have a final copy.

Also lost: 3 websites, photos, and all my previous high school homework. Oh well, dad bought me a 160 gb and I just picked up a 180 gb HD for $90 (Rebadged IBM).

LOL.... I wanted to see how long it would take to download 80GB of porn so I did a test. Last night i downloaded 6 gb... so it would take about 14 days.... not a big lost for whoever. Stuff we create (program, write, or edit) matters the most.

Sorry to revive an otherwise dead thread, BUT...

I'm happy to say that a format on that dead drive was just what the doctor ordered! After formatting, OnTrack's software was able to see the files with their correct headers once more!!! This means that the re-coding I was going to be forced to do on the ALEXIS core no longer needs to be done. I have ALL of the latest core developments in place now, and I am that much closer to a test release.

Also, I have my NaturalVoices CDs once again, which means I can get the verbal feedback on track once more. I would take a stab and say that a release is coming in about a week or so!
