Did I suggest that?
I don't think so.
Someone did for sure.
It'll work if it was only recently deleted. It'll work if there's plenty of
space on the HD, but not otherwise. Remember that all sorts of stuff is
being written to your HD without you even knowing, temporary files; and a
deleted file soon gets mashed by being partly or fully overwritten unless
the amount of free space means it sits in the garbage for a long time
Don't mean to be doomy, but I'd hate you to send (a lot of) good money after
lost poems. Save the money to get drunk
If you are thinking of that, using an agency, not getting drunk, stop using
the computer immediately!
