I don't know if any of you people are subscribers to 'A Word A Day', but I have just recovered from a system crash where I lost everything I find it hard going to the Word A Day site and manually down loading the entire Archives. Has anyone been saving them as clippings or other that I could copy. I just love words.

Has anyone out there retrieved trashed files in OSX.3 I have trashed some really valuable files that Norton in its new /dead guise cannot get to

It's possibly too late now ........ but
shutdown your puter  ASAP ...

Then start up from an external drive or CD and DO NOT write to your hard drive.

If you have juornaling turned on it has probably written over your trashed files by now
or other OSX background functions have or will do that.

OK ! ?  Now you may have a chance of retrieving those files ....
Photorescue will retrieve photo's but I don't know about text

Have fun
