Q. I used to work in a bead shop and then for an Australian opal dealer. My goal is to one day have the knowledge and skills to set the best quality gems in the world.

rent a rac resposible for my lost data?
Q. I was renting a computer from them, only got five payments left and i took it in to have the cd drive and fan replaced. I was assured that the data would be fine since it was just simple repairs, i wasn't able to back anything up since the cd burner was dead. When it returned the hard drive was wiped!!!

A. never happened to me before, but i have heard that there is a program the that government uses to catch criminals. The program can read data off of hard drives, even if it has been erased. It is probably exspencive, but the company might pay for it because it was their fault.
