Glad that you're safe.  We're still waiting to hear about some of our
people.

Notes of encouragement:

1) DMS-10s have been through floods, hosed off, and made to operate
again.

2) I sent an Audiovox cell phone to the 12ft end of a swimming pool.  One
of the life guards brought it to me a while later.  I washed it and
dried it and used it for another year.

3) If you have a really valuable HDD then maybe its worth taking it to a
recovery specialist.

Note of discouragement:

1) My Motorola flip-phone fell into the toilet.  I washed it and dried
it and it started working - sort of.  It has water tattle-tale stickers
inside.  Maybe they designed it to stop working when it gets wet :).

Note to us all:

We should do off-site backups.  Encrypt sensitive stuff.  Send copies to
relatives and friends for safe keeping. I know I've been putting it off
for 5 years now.
