Cross posting might serve your needs, but is a reason I rarely visit the forums, which defeats your purpose to some extent in the long run.

Thanks, MGD- I talked to some very nice people at OnTrack, and they offer some great solutions. Their recovery is -only- $700 to $2200, and much faster than what Seagate/Iomega offers but still. ...

I'm just very thankful I have everything off on DVDs and can get back up eventually without that expense.

We usually get stuff at good prices from eCost and buy.com. Haven't tried these guys.

I can't resist telling the story of my TWO Iomega 500 GB drives that have both died within weeks of each other. One was a mirror of the other. I lost almost everything, because after the first one died I I had to order a replacement and had only moved about 32 GB of data from the remaining drive before it died, too.

The shop where I took them to see if the data could be saved said they're very familiar with problems with the enclosures. But actually, this time the drives were bad, and they thought the problem looked like it did come from the enclosures stressing the drives. They were able to read one of the drives, but not long enough to stream the data off of it before it too was totally gone. As I have always done, they even used a cooling system as part of their efforts.

You might of course have a lot better luck than this. I have two older Iomega 250 GB drives that are still working.

I'm not a happy customer right now, and they wanted $700 to $2900 to see about getting my data off the bad drives IF it were possible, and they said they'd deliver it back to me on DVDs.
Heh.

I'd really like to try her too. Linky please? Purty please? And Thank You. She's very c;ute!

LOL the very finest boob morphs anywhere.

I thought, being a sage, he'd be smarter than this.

Yes, Deecey, standard res Jessi is way better on resources, but I had to push. Then I also wanted to get some serious face wrinkles happening, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up needing the extra polys in the hires Jessi for that. So for me it ends up being about the 'state of the art', which is still limited by the performance of the pc. Can't have everything. Like a truck and a house and also a couple of workstations. Gotta be realistic and try to live within the means of the pc. LOL.

capses -- I totally agree about the geometry heavy. I won't be buying a lot of goodies for these folks because I've only got a gig of ram and already my system is on its knees with P6, with no shadows and just a teeny bit of raytrace (-2) and buckets at 32. Sheesh!

OK, It's a little bit the fault of the GUI, because when I try to go into the face room, it -tends- to re-select the dress even though I have Jessi selected at the time. After four tries it stuck and I took her in there. She morphs just like she should.

I might have messed up on my last post. I went back and tried the regular Jessi, not the hires mesh, and she went in the face room just fine. I also just learned that the finger smoosh thingie that lets you morph intuitively, lets you morph each side of the face separately. Not something I need to do a lot, but it's nice. I'll go back and try loading the hires Jessi again and let you know.
