Ach
I put one of my old SCSI Mac Hard drives in my Windows PC and I was trying to get MacDrive to see it. The plan was to share it there and pull old files off to my newer Mac.
I accidentally reformatted the drive. It didn't even warn me that I was going to lose data.
I thought it was asking for a name, but it wanted to put new partitions on the drive.
Nothing has been written to the "new" formatted drives, and the two partitions on it were not changed in size.
In the old days I would have used a utility that unformatted the last partition and restored the MBR.
WTF can I do about this nowadays? I have put it into my G4 with Tiger and yep, clean as a whistle.
I see some recovery tools out there, but I need some suggestions.

That sucks. I think MS has the philosophy of "if it ain't got Windows stuff on it then there's obviously nothing at all on it."
ION, in OS X you can now 'right-click' by putting two fingers on the trackpad and clicking, rather than holding down the ctrl key while clicking (you have to enable this feature). Is this new for Leopard? Or have I been missing this goodness for years?

It's been around at least as long as Intel laptops, and I think Powerbooks had it before that. Maybe even iBook G4s. So... years.
You can also drag downwards using two fingers to scroll, at least on my MBP. Best. Feature. Ever.
you need a 3rd party system pref to do those trackpad tricks with G4 hardware.
Any suggestions for which type of anti-Spyware/anti-Virus software I should install on my Vista desktop PC? It came with Norton, which has now just lapsed, so I should either renew it or get something else....
I hear AVG is good. And for spyware, Ad-Aware and Spybot.
Dawn of the Computer Era
Pictures of computers in use from the '60s through '80s. I think my fave is the business guy in the oddly colored suit using a TRS-80 with cassette interface.
I love the 60's picture of a line drawing of a woman in a bikini. Computers and porn, they just belong together.

Did you notice that he's writing with his right hand while typing with his left? He's a true multitasker.
Most of the pictures look to be from the very late '70s to the very early '80s, all those PETs, Trash 80's, and CoCos
Our very first system at work was one of these. The not so little box to the right of the TRS-80 is a 5 MB hard drive, which cost $5000 in 1984 dollars.
