after weeks of trying this and that to get thousands of photos off a failing hardrive on my ibook that were not backed-up ( i know. i know. rap my knuckles with a ruler. ), i finally procured an external drive, installed os x on it, booted into it from the laptop, loaded data rescue II and, well, rescued everything!

all while watching the green bay packers beat the detroit lions in the thanksgiving classic.

for both, i give thanks 🙂

those that know we moved from the home of lions to the home of packers might appreciate the delicate waters on which i tread, at least as far as football thanks go.
