Ah. I got that the IBM was dead, but I didn't know you were recovering from
the older drives to a new 120GB.

I've seen people take a drive they've deleted stuff from, undelete the stuff
to that same drive and in the process overwrite other deleted files on the
drive that they also hoped to recover. And then they yell at me.

Still, it sounds like you're getting a lot of stuff! Congrats!
