I have no faith that version 2.0 will remember any of the secrets shared between version 1.0 and myself. I suspect that the process, if it works at all, will be a lot more projection and reconstruction rather than restoration and preservation. Title: Re: Good news,if a bit too late for Hal....

I remember when I was a kid a few people claimed they where prepared to do that but never hear any place that offers the service. |
