Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I suspect at this point good beats cheap.

Le Nubian, the thought occurred to me, did you intend to post a link or a name or something in your post and just forget? Or did you just want to see whether it was OK to post something that pricey? Cause either way, a link or some way to find the service would be perfectly OK, and if it turns out to be more expensive than John is looking for, totally not your fault. I can't speak for John but I will appreciate it. And I suspect he will too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sorry, I split and didn't mean to leave you hanging. I have heard good things about the first 2, I cannot unfortunately remember the name of the Canadian service, but I think #3 might be it.

All three can give estimates before charging...

Thanks so much!

Interviews probably can't be recreated, cause given his field these are probably people who won't redo the interview, and asking for new interviews cause the old ones were destroyed won't help his future career prospects in any case. He really really should have backed up.

But the a data recovery service, if it can recover this data will really save his ass. So thanks again.

Although this is useful mainly for British Buffistas, it is such a clever design I had to share it. If you appreciate the sheer beauty of really clever design you will like it. Maybe more towards the genius end of the spectrum than just clever. Or if you are British and use portable electronic devices. Tremendous space-saver on portable plugs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

dude, that is an awesome design. I like the folded 3 plugs in one at the end.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mimo Mini USB Monitor

Looking for that extra bit of screen real estate to get you through the busy workday? Referring to notes while writing an e-mail, checking info in a spreadsheet while entering data into a web page, keeping an eye on your to-do list while browsing YouTube... it's handy to have additional monitor space at the ready. Problem is an entire secondary monitor comes with its own needs like requiring a separate power cord or perhaps an additional video card.

The Mimo Mini USB Monitor changes this equation completely by offering a low-maintenance relationship between you and an extra display. A single USB connection from your computer gets you an instant high-resolution secondary display. This awesome display is perfect for your IM client, widgets, PC gaming tools, your email, a spreadsheet, your PhotoShop tools, or even video! Not only do these displays enhance productivity, they look great! The single USB connection, combined with a weight of only 1.3 pounds, means the Mimo monitor is ultra portable and cost-effective, as no expensive extra video cards are required.

Huh. I'm trying to decide if it's worth $129 to me....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have no TV. Got the digital converter, got a digital antenna - no reception. None at all.

This whole thing is a plot to force everyone to get cable, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You live in the District, right? I find it hard to believe that you get no reception.
