Recovering data from dead laptops
Am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to PC's and I do have a propensity to killing them off and not maintaining back ups.
After an incident between a Dell and a cup of coffee a couple of months ago I got hold of a Sata/IDE to usb2.0 hard drive adapter ( digitech XC-4150) from Jaycar for I think about $40 and recovered the data of on the hard drive really easily. I spent today going through all the dead windows laptops (there's a few...) and have revived all my Astro data and also a lot of personal photos from the last 5 years whilst at the same time putting in a back up strategy.
Now moving onto the Macs.
Best $40 I ever spent. Just get one.
Now where are those clear skies?
