Recovering Files is Hard to Do

original song by N.Sedaka/H.Greenfield of course
lyrics 5/99 by Steve Bergen (e-mail: bergen@nobles.edu)

Edie Carey writes: the song sounds great ... I wish I had had it in front of me when I lost everything on my hard drive last fall :(

If you have an MP3 player (perhaps from musicmatch) feel free to listen to download Bob Lasher's MP3 version of this song. This is perfectly legal and honest unlike what a MEGA-number of college students are doing these days! See the music page for more links on MP3!

Don't take that zip disk away from me
Don't you leave my hard drive in misery
If you go then I might format it to be new
Cause recovering files is hard to do

Remember when I lost a megabyte
And you ran Norton's on it all through the night
Think of how Can Opener came through
Cause recovering files is hard to do

They say that backups are important to do
Now I know, I know that's it's true
More important than condoms, that seems to be the trend
Instead of I/O errors I'd love to see those files again

I beg of you, don't say I acted rash
Can't we do something for my hard drive crash
You shipped it to Lazarus, is that really true?
Cause recovering files is hard to do
