Oh, that sucks. I lost my pictures of my cat after having them all put on a blank CD. Now I don't know where that box is.

My first computer, I had a basic account with a Unix or Linux ISP. In fact, I still have my account. And my web site (astrology). I let my poor website kind of die, and haven't been able to check any of the mail since 2012. I'll have to delete all the email. Who knows what I might be losing. But there are probably thousands of emails, most of it spam.
