Our data was recovered!


Hip! Hip!

We just got the best news.  A co-worker of Cord's suggested that before we sent our hard drive off to a specialist (they were going to take it apart and retrieve the data for about $1000) that we let him try and freeze our hard drive.  Yes, freeze the hard drive.

I must say I was very skeptical.  Who would think that putting your hard drive in a Ziploc bag and freezing it over night would make it possible to retrieve data.  But it worked!  So on Monday when Cord goes to work he will pick up the external hard drive we gave him with all of our pictures & stuff on it!  I am so happy!  

Really...I am jumping for joy!

Oh & bonus...we saved a lot of money that we can now spend on fixing our van. :)

Yay for the data. Crummy about the van. If you need some wheels we have the buick just sitting there, you are more than welcome to use it if you need it. Just let me know.
