Hey guys, I just discovered a neat trick with disksalv! Using disksalv
you can un-delete files you accidentally hosed. Say you just downloaded
3 mb of animations from the WhizBangBBS. You go to your disk and see all
of those .info thingies that the Download! program leaves scattered about.

So you decide to dump them and type "delete #? .info" or something
equally stupid. Your jaw hits the floor, and you wake the neighbors dog
with a noise that sounds like an Altarian Megadonkey in heat. As Carl
Malden would say, "what will you do, what will you do". Don't touch the
disk, just use Disksalv and you should be able to get back most of your
files.

Neat huh?
