I was thinking of actually doing something at some point on hardware diagnostics/recovery. SpinRite is absolutely the best software disk-recovery tool on the market in my opinion. Remote assistance is a must. For projects that I plan and/or manage, I always use Hamachi or some flavor of VNC, but especially for "urgent" family assistance, LogMeIn has proven to be a life (and time) saver. :) David,

Thanks for compiling this here. For hard disk recovery, I'll mention <a href="http://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm" rel="nofollow">SpinRite</a>. We've used it for a couple of projects that were in rough shape. It works like a champ for us. Thanks, too, for mentioning remote assistance. I think many people in the industry underestimate the importance of having some form of remote access. It makes life so much easier. I could not live without it. :) Great information!
