Worth A Try

Our back-up hard drive died.  Looking back, it gave us plenty of warning -- we just didn't recognize the signs.  Of course all our family video footage was stored on there.  But then Jeff came across this tip:  Put the drive in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer for 12 hours.  Seriously?

Well, it was worth a try.  I mean what did we have to lose?  And what do you know?  It worked!!  As it slowly hummed back to life, Jeff was able to transfer all the files onto a new drive (a 4-5 hour process) and save the day.  Who would have thought?
