Recovery

I'm just getting my home PC back in service after a hard disk crash of some sort. (maybe a virus?) The worst of it is I had no backups. I certainly know better but I guess I am too much of an optimist. Anyway probably the worst thing I lost was an inventory of my home library that had about 700 books in it and was about half finished. I used this really cool program called Readerware All you have to do is type in or scan in the ISBN for your books and it looks up all the info for the book from web sites like Amazon and the Library of Congress. I don't know why I was so much enjoying creating the inventory or why it seems so cool but I think it must have something to do with how much I love books and the pleasure of seeing all my books listed in one place. Oh well, I'll probably start over again in a few weeks and this time I will keep back ups!
