we have a shop down the road who do clever things for affordable prices, and they specialise in data retrieval, so fingers crossed...
And of course I just blew some royalties on some expensive non-stick kitchen ware! still, what it costs will be worth it, it has 10 years of research on it, some of which but not all is backed up. I should back up more than monthly.... especially when I've done heavy research....
I am replacing the damn flash drive with a small external hard drive which i can duct-tape to the laptop... I've had one flash drive partly eaten by a cat before now [she bit right through the plastic covering] and one that bent by putting it in [didn't buy that make again] and I'm sick of them.
So, in about 9 hours, the hubby is off down the road for me... fingers crossed....
