That is a very devastating thing to go through. I can absolutely relate to you saying you felt like you had been in a fire. When it happened to me I felt like I had been robbed! There are still things I will never get back from the black hole where lost BrailleNote data goes.

That would bother me a lot, too, because I have a huge address book and a plannerr that has quite a few appointments in it. My catastrophe wouldn't have been so bad if I'd just been given a warning but it happened in what seemed like a second without my choice and I was stunned. I kept looking for my files, and they just kept on not being there, but miracles do happen, I guess, and I thought it just might be my turn but it wasn't. It took me a solid week and many hours just to get what I could remember back from the web but I had stuff that I'll never retrieve.
