13/52 up and running
13/52 picture of the week. i'm in love with those big, brown eyes!
eli the computer guy (a.k.a. bob) rocks the casbah.
not only did he recover all of my data from my
friedexternalharddrive
but he put it on a new, bigger one
and filled my spinning head with new knowledge
so i won't lose thousands of photos again!
and the best part?
it cost $100 for the data retrieval.
yes, i'll repeat it.
one hundred smack-a-roos.
that's it!.
big difference from the other-guys.
$1500.00 difference.
25,000 photos recovered
with a smile,
advice (the advice is free!)
and the lovely mia
who puts ones mind at ease
from the start.
so.
the photos will resume.
i'll play catch-up when babychop decides
to ever nap again.

i'm doin' a dance for you sister!!!
ReplyDeleteif eli the computer guy were here i'd probably kiss him ;-)
this is REALLY good news!!!
i just couldn't bear to think of you you losing all those photos of babychops and italy and...
well, thank goodness!!!
Did he recover the RAW files, too?
ReplyDeletethank you, kirsten. xo
ReplyDeleteand yes, paddy, that would be correct! : D
You are the luckiest lady in the world!!! And this latest photo is an awesome photo. :) We miss Liam.
ReplyDeleteHooray! Glad to hear you're back in business. Inspiration to back up. Twice. :)
ReplyDeleteYAH!!!!! WHat a miracle. You've got some good people on your side. :) I may need to get Eli's contact info. He gives me hope. My hard drive crashed a year ago with my grandmother's pic's on it.
ReplyDeleteThe pic of Liam is fabulous. Sending you so much love from mother India!
oxoxo
Yay! I'm so happy your photos are safe.
ReplyDeleteso glad for you!
ReplyDeletenow i'm wondering what advice he gave you, because i'm not so savvy.
xoxo
thank you all for your well wishes!
ReplyDeletejenica, he basically told me to back up all of my files on at least TWO different external HDs. that way, if something happens to one of them, i have the other as a backup.
he said that a big misconception is that "once it is off of your internal hd and "backed up" on a external drive, we think it is safe. not so".
even having flickr is a good thing...unless you want to save RAW files like i do.
oh. and he said, even better, have your backups in two different places in case of fire, water damage, theft, etc.
good luck.
