As I mentioned in a previous email, I failed to back up my "vanagon keepers"
files in email when I upgraded my computer to Windows XP professional. I
thought I lost all my saved vanagon email. Fortunately I had cloned my hard
drive before I upgraded to windows XP professional (a great program by the
way.)

A new resident in our household is a computer networking expert who charges
over $100 per hour for his work. He told me that everything was retrieveable
although hidden. After about 5 minutes of intuitive searching and trial and
error he was able to find all my email that I failed to back up and restore
it to a new email location. FANTASTIC. All that work was not down the tubes
after all thanks to his know how.

Computers are still a mystery to me but it is good to know that when things
are deleted they are still there somewhere IF YOU KNOW HOW to get it back.
