  1. Starting the day with trying to recover files from an external USB drive. Using Diskwarrior in what feels like about a million years.

      This takes me back. I remember the heady days of rebuilding desktops every time you pressed f8 in QuarkXPress 3.1. SCSI drive bus errors. Extension conflicts. Just an everyday occurrence in OS7, 8 & 9.

      Well, that worked! Before... hard drive would crash finder, wouldn't mount, inaccessible directory so couldn't be repaired with Disk Utility. Using Disk Warrior, I forced the disk to not mount, repaired directory and file system. Now copying files before it goes in the bin!
