I just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone here. Last week I was on vacation out of the country and while there my hard drive failed (Windows wouldn't boot). I know, I know, Windows right...
Well I didn't have a drive with me (took my extra battery instead) so I was hosed. When i got back I bought a new drive for my laptop and an external enclosure to put my dead drive in (Windows wouldn't even reinstall unless I reformatted!). So I plugged it into Windows and nada, Windows would actually hard lock.
So a friend suggested I try Knoppix (d'oh!) which I hadn't thought of yet. I did, OMFG! I'm using it now and have my other Windows PC mounted up and am copying my data accross the network now!!! So, in short you guys SAVED MY ASS!!!!!
I had hours and hours of work on here that I would have lost, but most importantly I would have lost the 600 pictures I took on my vacation, honestly I would have paid to get them back if I'd had to. But thanks to you guys I'm getting it back now!!!
As I run an open source project I know how helpful feedback is, and well while this isn't technically feedback I wanted you to know that you've saved me, I hope that puts a smile on your face!!! I'll also be posting in my forums just in case my users don't know about you guys....
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK ASS PRODUCT!!!!!!
