I can understand that... :) Richard's going to let me take his bulk eraser to MD, and Dale has said he thinks that will do the job... :)
I read that that's unnecessary now, though let me reiterate
the importance of physical destruction of the media.
I'd guess that Dale has a good idea as to how important it would be in connection with his data....
Surely, and he probably has always had a good idea
about how to best neutralize the data as well.
In that case, I certainly hope it WAS completely chemically
identical...!
There will still be some issue there. Identicality
doesn't substitute for naturalness here.
Granted. Mother's milk will never be totally duplicated commercially...
they keep finding more aspects to it that weren't apparent earlier...
I'd imagine that other cases of natural vs 'identical' would also be...
There are simpler things than milk. Rosemary, for
example, can be duplicated with various mixtures of
thymol, camphor, menthol, and so on - and if one
took the time and had the equipment, an exact
match could be produced.
Your labor was worth something.
She also took me out for lunch (her tab) regularly, and gave me a free
rub for my birthday, along with a birthday lunch... ;) I don't think I got the raw end of the stick... :)
A nice symbiosis.
We became more friends than anything else over the years... :) Now that she's pretty much moved to BC, I do miss her...
Pretty much moved to BC?
Actually, we found we still could dial out, and our backup dialup ISP account at Bluefrog worked just fine.... This morning, the dial out was gone too... but that was because of where we were in the process of getting it back, I think....
Eventually that will resolve (one presumes and hopes).
One still presumes and hopes... even though we have our number back,
safe and sound supposedly, we've been again without DSL since Sunday
night... also need to straighten out the billing... we ended up with an entirely new account, and are to be getting both a closeout and a
beginning bill, and then straighten everything out with the Customer
Service rep that has been working with me... I've got a call in to her
about the loss of DSL again, but so far she hasn't returned my call...
We do have one of the bills we've been waiting for, still need the
closeout of the old account to arrive....
It's a puzzlement how that came to pass in the first place.
The answer appears to be that somehow a block of numbers was made
available to the other company, without (I guess) verifying that they
were all free and available to be used.... possibly by our company,
possibly stolen from our company... they had all the account info... At
least we did get our very own number back.... :) And the DSL actually
worked first...
Strange little pitfalls of the digital age.
that first message, I got a VERY competent and nice Customer Service gal working on getting things back, and today, also a very nice and
competent gal in the department that handles the porting in and out...
We are putting a lock on the account to keep it from happening again... next time we'll get a call at the beginning to see if it's us that are asking for the porting... and since it won't be, it won't get so far,
just dropped at that point.... :)
Competent and nice - buy a lottery ticket.
Nah, I probably used up all my lucky streak.... (G)
I thought they came in threes or something ... oh, yeah,
that's misfortunes.
