I feel your pain, mikelum.....our computer failed and we were both sick about it, as we hadn't backed anything up - we were pretty fearless!!! The one thing we did NOT want to lose was the Quicken - 5 years of transactions. We called in a repairman, whom I found completely by chance. He took our hard drive out, took it with him, froze it, then downloaded info off it to another hard drive a little at a time. He had to repeat the freeze and download 3 times before he got it all downloaded. Something to do with ions, I think - youse computer guys would know. I'd try it, though - nobody wants to lose data....
