Hello All, So, not enough submissions to the Gallery and no digest this evening? I was beginning to think the sky was falling too, until I saw it was due to a technical problem. My problems are technical too. 1) In a fit of bleary-eyed stupidity, I accidentally erased a bunch of photos off the hard disk tonight. I was using the software that came with my camera, and it does not route deleted files to the purgatory bin, but sends them straight to pixel heaven. I know enough about computers to know that the data must still live on my hard disk, but not enough to know how to resurrect the ghosts. Can anyone recommend a freeware or shareware undeleting program that can ease my pain? (I use Windoze ME.) 2) I have accumulated quite a few usb cables now, and each device's manual insists that you should only use the cable supplied with the device. Took me forever to track down the 'right' cable tonight (hence the bleary eyes mentioned above). What I wonder is if there is actually a reason beyond "their lawyers make them say that" for the claim. Does anyone know if I will run a risk of damaging my camera or other devices by using the 'wrong' cable? Thanks for any advice, brian van den broek ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
