The disk was for video so I do have the tapes around, but I lost my |
| 19 |
current edits. Finished products were burned to disk. Most of the data |
| 20 |
was stuff I finished and was trying to decide what to do with, guess |
| 21 |
that decision's been made. Hopefully I'll never have to recreate them. |

Anyway to pick up the disk from the middle? I really don't want to go |
| 24 |
through the tapes and download them again. |
