I wathed on TV there is a real pro company somewehere here in Scandinavia that has boult an impressive machine in which they can put disks from any HD, and scan one disk after the other, and have software and brilliant guys putting the data parts together. Thus they can recover data from computers that has been in fire and also those that are mechanically are very severly damaged. Quite impressive. /Morgan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics
