I heard Jens had a Computer crash - better than a car crash...

Hi guys,
I'm still around but yes the computer crashed & we're trying still trying to recover the hard drive. Might be a couple of weeks before things get squared away.
As far as the SDL. Getting close to starting it up now but the weather has been unbearably hot to work in as most of you are also experiencing. Will do another update asap. Thanks!

Jens, I don't know what kind of a crash you had, but we had our hard drive crash and it would make grinding noises, so it was a mechanical failure. My computer buddy couldn't do anything with it, and then someone said to pull out the drive and put it in a Ziploc and put it in the freezer for about 45 minutes. Well, it actually worked! The cold apparently changed the interference that was occurring, and we were able to recover the majority of our files.
Now, since I am paranoid  , I back up everything on two seperate external harddrives, and keep one of them at work.
Good luck!
