Flash, thanks for link. I hope I never have to use it again! The drive in the hands of the recovery people and still no word. I have heard of earlier models of Vaios having "resume from standby" problems, so I'm worried,...

Something (possibly the Vaio) scrambled my external Firewire/USB2 Iomega HDD connected via Firewire to the Vaio. It's now been sent for data recovery and my fingers are crossed. This is gonna cost me. The details below... and maybe...

Toshiba's CSV (sometimes referred to as CASV) screen has been off the market since the 5205-119 was discontinued (about jan 04). According to a rep at their 800 line, these screens MAY be returning in mid-June on the M30 series, in a...
