Any suggestions?

I have an external Lacie hard drive that I have stored music, pictures, and documents on; however, it is no longer readable and makes a clicking noise.  I’ve hooked it up on two different computers with the same result – the computer tells me that the drive needs to be formatted.  Well, if I do that I’m just going to erase what I have on it. 

So far I think I have two options.  I can try to repair on my own and even try the put it in the freezer overnight trick, or I can take it somewhere for data recovery. 

Any suggestions on who I should take it to or how to do the data recovery myself?

Ginger seemed more likely . . .

Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island,” is serving six months’ unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.

She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance — were dropped.

They just seem too technological cool to be retired

The world’s first attack aircraft to employ stealth technology is slipping quietly into history.

The inky black, angular, radar-evading F-117, which spent 27 years in the Air Force arsenal secretly patrolling hostile skies from Serbia to Iraq, will be put in mothballs next month in Nevada.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, which manages the F-117 program, will have an informal, private retirement ceremony Tuesday with military leaders, base employees and representatives from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

The last F-117s scheduled to fly will leave Holloman on April 21, stop in Palmdale, California, for another retirement ceremony, then arrive on April 22 at their final destination: Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada, where the jet made its first flight in 1981.

The government has no plans to bring the fighter out of retirement, but could do so if necessary.
