Well, I'm starting to get somewhere. I've skimmed through 50,000 photos and other jpegs that belong to 2003-2004 were the years hardest hit by the disk failure. If you go to my 2004 pictures and scroll down to "May" right now, there's only one photo of approximately 244 that I took at Demicon on the server. So the restoration will begin -- you'll see it if you check that link later, there will be fewer "LOST" and "INCOMPLETE" messages on the Demicon files when I get these snaps reinstated.
Yippee!
EDIT: I've also found a bunch of photos from Dee's funeral in Kansas City, Mike and Sharon's wedding (but if they're able to send me a cd-rom it'll be a great help), Mariel's twins, and some Corflu photos.
