So.....
I was playing L4D when I decided to back up my USB. Well, I pressed delete and enter a little too quickly (thinking I was copying). Everything from my USB was gone, even my 121 page new book that i am writing (i have another copy, but only at 62 pages). So, I searched ALL OVER for a utility program to save my usb. I messed with like 6 of them, but none of them could find that one file, except for this one:
http://www.datadoctor.org/partition-recovery/pen-drive.html
Gentlemen, I purchased it because it was the ONLY one that found the program. Now, I have the paper back and have made 5 different copies of it!.
Seriously, i Felt ill. |

I bet you shit yourself!
You should always back academic stuff up in two ways, once opn a gmail account (basically every time you write a big paragraph or page of stuff) and also on a removable drive as well as on your computer. You've got three failsafes then. |

Seriously though, my heart stopped. I have never felt such looming, impending darkness. I didn't k now what to do. I had to get up, walk outside, catch my breath, and come back and think level-headedly. Thank goodness, because, the moment you remove/write onto the USB drive, it becomes extremely difficult to save anything. |

At least it was your life.
That happened to me once and the_beavers' life flashed before my eyes.
Now, an ad for datadoctor or an early plug for your book? I mean "I was playing L4D when I decided to back up my USB" is a quite a segue...
