Paul AKA Sparkey2

Sabotaged!

Hmm... some disgruntled Costa Rician Dole plantation worker must have been pissed at management. This was the 2nd banana I found in the batch with a perfect hole through it.

I have a pretty good backup plan. I only missed a couple of days of files, which I do have via the way you suggest. I borrowed a sata to USB connection, and pulled over the files I had not previously backed up.
But I have to wait 2 weeks to get a new replacement pc where I can reload all the software and data.

Hopefully you have a way to recover the data, which sounds intact, on your old drive. You may be able to install it in your wife's PC and copy it over to a USB drive or burn to a DVD or if you have a USB backup drive that would work too. Seems like they sell a case that you can put a ordinary drive in and then it becomes a USB drive. Paul

No laptop yet. I talked with a case manager in TX - and they have decided to scrap mine and build a "new" one. As of right now, they are trying to get the specs of the old one. They just sent by drives back to me.
Highly frustrating, as my wife's pc is only good for email and posts like this.

My understanding is that bananas are hand picked so this has to be a deliberate act by someone.

Did you get your laptop back yet??? Paul

Very interesting. New to me as well. Looks like it could have been spiked.

I was begrudgingly preparing to chuck it into the trash can when it hit me that perfect round hole in that banana was created not by nature but rather at the hands of some person especially when there were two of them in the same batch. I love bananas and eat at least one every day, I've never seen this before. Paul.

It is startling to me how oddly pretty this is....with your 100mm macro...this really should be ugly, but it isn't...How interesting....Traveller
