Several things converged and set me to thinking. My daughter tweeted that she refused to watch television tomorrow as there was a vast difference between remembering the past and wallowing in it (brings a tear to my eye – my little girl done [...]]]></description>

The drive failure itself, while aggravating, is just one of those things that happen from time to time. The restoration process, however, is an abysmal FAIL from your end.
