stormdogOh my God/dess.
I found my lost files.
I started looking through my third partition and, buried deep down in a folder full of junk that's been hanging around and accumulating over about the last four system rebuilds I've done, I found the chat records and saved voice mail that I thought I'd permanently lost. Thank the powers that be that not only am I lazy about cleaning out my old files, but I am also a data packrat.
Words would probably fail to describe my reaction to finding these, but it involved what is probably an embarrassing amount of squealing and bouncing.
Yes; I have learned my lesson. The files are being burned to a CD even as I type. I'm also going to figure out critera for classifying data as critical and start regularly backing things up just as I should have been doing already. This will not be happening again.
