My profound commiserations, Dave. I guess we've all been bitten by the "failed to back-up" bug at some stage. I'm paranoid about loosing data. I've got everything on an external hard drive and two DVDs but I still worry about it.
I'm sorry about those Comet McNaught shots. There was some great stuff there. :-( Regards Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/brianwalters Quoting David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Well shit. > > I mentioned the other day that I had a hard drive problem.
