my computer gobbled up several tens of
MB of .jpg files, including all my photos from Stuttgart. am busy backing
up all remaining files of value. also gone are lots of pics from the
club, Astoria, and shots of myself, ----- and -----. not happy about
it. i had been perusing many of those last night while trying to figure
out the least time-consuming method of rotating those photos taken at a
90-degree angle back into proper orientation. i can only suspect a major
bug in the defragmenting program or a blatantly faulty hard drive... time
for a new machine, methinks.
