I'm waiting to hear any news of EV - I see that the weather may not be decent until today or maybe Friday. Who knows if he can hold out. Ha - today's dispatch says he is prepared to wait some days if necessary.
Carrie - I know enough to say that doing something strenuous for one day is not so bad but doing something day after day (even if it is not so strenuous) takes mental toughness. Good luck and it will be fun to hear your report.
Tim, have you considered deleting everything and rewritting over everything? In other words, delete everything you don't want, run scandisk and your disk cleanup program to make files contiguous and consolidate your directories, then create a dummy file - say a word file with a repeated sentence - copy the text over and over to get a large file - then make a copy of the file on the disk until you have 10 copies - then select those 10 copies and make 10 more copies until you have 100 - then select 100 and keep copying until you fill up your disks with copies of that file. Then reformat your disks. You cannot recover a deleted file if someone has written other data over the original file sectors.
