Hi.
The hard drive recovery cost so much because that's how much it costs! Two companies wouldn't even attempt it it was so bad.

If you want to see the invoice I can post it. Plus, my intention is to return the money to the people who donated within the next 12 months. I don't like being in debt to people. But I am very grateful to the eight people that helped.

As for backups. I am working from three different drives of rather large sizes. So no, no back up was made unfortunately. It's very hard to commit any more time to a project when you have a career and a young family. Unless you want to say goodbye to one of them, which I don't

DVDs are going out today and tomorrow.

Sorry for the no-nonsense replies. Had to attend the funeral of a loved one yesterday, so and I am not feeling great.
