Did you miss the part where some guy who was doing it for a living in 2009
gave a description if what he did and said explicitly how sucessful he was
and gave some background on why the usual case, recovering data from a
heavily used HD, was more successful than from a once-used, practcally

I half to admit, I'm not sure why I bother mentioning it. If we worry too

ourselves.

And where we get our warm fuzzies.
