clean slate

ok, so......my section of the hard-drive may have been wiped clean by a program called RegCure that somehow installed itself and proceeded to clear out my registry......oh my.....i seem to have no documents, no pictures, and no music .....whereas there does appear to be data in the folders of remaining family members.....hmmm......to be honest, i have not been especially upset about this reality when it occurred to me that the photo sets on the hard-drive have been uploaded to Flickr, that my school documents like exams, study guides, etc are on my jump-drive as are family christmas letters, and that i do have a load of favorite tunes on my ipod shuffle/my palm pilot...and my playlists had mostly been burned to cd's.......and music is replaceable.....so what was there that is now lost?......hmmm......i had taken the time to download the first few years of this blog....happily i also copied those word documents to my palm pilot.....and if need be i could download them again......we had someone come out to look at the pc yesterday, with no success other than the identification of the culprit.....i appear to have lost nothing priceless.....or unique......though i have great plans for backing up future documents/photos/music......so as to not find myself in this position again....
