The external hard drive wasn't an option at the office (well, not until this afternoon when management suddenly realized that we might need to get some), so the system restore was all I had to rely on. Unfortunately, the failure seems to have been a failure of the mechanical parts of the hard drive and this caused physical damage, not something that can be recovered. So, unless I would have gone against company policy and stored my back-ups on our network, I had no way of getting around this. YAY!

It's completely freaky. We just got an external hard drive and set up Time Machine on my computer. When I choose to "Enter Time Machine," my desktop slips away and you look like you're moving forward through space to whatever your computer looked like at the last back up. It's spooooky science fiction stuff. Um, I just realized how not helpful that is. Sorry for your loss? Have you seen the Time Machine feature on the newer Macs? It’s completely freaky.
