And aren't you on vacation? That sucks. There should be no technological disasters on vacation.

Right??? Thanks. At least it's only semi-work, but now I have to call someone at my office, and bleh.

My printer is driving me mad: when you ask it to print an envelope it prints on whatever paper you asked it to print the document previous to the envelope, i.e., if you print on letterhead, it prints the envelop on letterhead, if you print on plain paper it prints on plain paper - but not on envelopes.

It's an HP Cp;pr :aserKet 2605dtn - any ideas? Is this something I fix in the printer? Or something I fix in Word?

Never mind.

(I had the default printer tray for envelopes listed incorrectly.)

Sometimes I hate technology because I really don't recall changing the default and yet it went from printing envelopes properly to not.

As I mentioned in natter, the hard drive in my laptop died over the weekend. It's not backed up, which is my own damn fault (the data is not *that* important, but I would like to keep my software). I have purchased an external drive and software to do backups in the future. For the present, does anyone have any experience with data recovery for a laptop hd? Particularly cost? I have a Dell Latitude D800, if it matters. Dell recommends the following vendors for data recovery-- any yeas/nays? I have no idea what something like this costs and the data is not worth more than maybe $750 to me.

If you can hook up the laptop to another working computer, try get data back. It was awesome and recovered all my data on an external HD.

That's really helpful, le nub. I will see if that works.

Jobs Offers Apple Lisa Early Adopters Store Credit

Cupertino, CA – Early adopters of the iPhone weren't the only ones receiving in-store credit from Steve Jobs. In an overlooked announcement, Jobs said that early adopters of the Apple Lisa would be receiving a $7000 in-store credit.

Apple LisaApple released the Lisa in January of 1983 for $9,995, and the similar Macintosh was released a year later for $2,495.

"I've felt bad about people who bought the Lisa for a long time. Anybody who bought one of the first Apple Lisas really got screwed," said Jobs. "Now that we've got some cash, I think it's about time we made it right."

People interested in the refund will need to bring in an original receipt showing they bought the Lisa in 1983 and proof of purchase from the Apple Lisa box. Sales figures from that year show that if all people who bought the computer claim the refund, Apple could be liable for almost $70,000.

An orginal receipt and proof of purchase?
