I've used several programs that deal with recovering lost files and the Excel file that I am looking for is indicated as "overwritten". Does that mean it's irretrievable?

I want to back-up my files. If I buy another hard drive would the T3306 support the RAID back-up.

Why did computers used to be hard to use? Someone told me that you had to do it all by keyboard or in html or something. The old apple computers?

I have a burner but I cannot burn stuff. I somehow did something to my Nero and it will not do anything. My dvd shrink no longer works. I do not want to burn illegal stuff but my son found a way to block his dvds that he made. He is only 12 years old and I need to know why he does not want me to see them.

I have a Dell B130. I know it's a crappy so I do not need to be reminded. But there are four lights on the front of my laptop and the third light blinks orange. Since this has been blinking my laptop will not run on it's battery. Every time I unplug it, it turns off and it has never done that till recently. I have gone to my preferences and it says that it is set to run on battery but doesn't. How do I change it or what does that light mean? please help, this is really annoying.

I'm joining the military soon, and I will be on the road alot. So instead of a pc I'm just going to get a laptop. I want something with a really strong graphics card, a fast processer, and a good longlasting battery that has an awsome bright screen moniter. I have decided on getting one of these, please tell me which one you would choose and elaborate on why. Thank you.

Is T5600, 1.8Ghz really that much faster than T5500, 1.66Ghz?
and would RAM make a difference in speed as well? ie, 1GB vs. 2GB?

thanks

About a year ago, I noticed my roommate's old iBook smelled really bad, like B.O. It was so strong you could tell as soon as it was open.

Now, I'm noticing the same smell starting to come from mine! It's so nasty - kinda like melting plastic, only also like B.O. My iBook is about 6 years old. Anyone else with this problem?
