    All is not completely lost, I have a back-up from about a week before the crash, however my temp replacement machine is a PC and my dead one is a iMac so gotta borrow the wife's computer to sift through the info, convert formats and then transfer files.

    cool deal, that's the best thing is to keep your hands going on the leather...too easy to forget the little things! Hope hubby heals quickly, surgery sucks. Don't forget to post pics when you're done adjusting. As for me, same as usual - busy as a one armed paper hanger. Just posted a big update thread and have more coming soon...
