But I'm glad you were able to get the information that was on it. This is making me think seriously about using an online service to back up all the info I have on my jump drive and my laptop. I have been procrastinating on this. Oh no! But I'm glad you were able to get the information that was on it.

The description of your retrieval would have been a funny picture or video. ;-) Although for us, not you. Stressful when important data gets compromised.

I was so anxious to get my info off that I started the transfer as soon as I got the light to come out, without realizing it was going to take close to 10 minutes to transfer. My fingers, hand, arm, and shoulder were killing me within 2 minutes and the only thing that kept me holding on was not knowing if it would work again if I moved and tried another position.
