When Your Facts Are All Wet

What do you do when your data goes into the drink?

Ontrack Data Recovery, an Eden Prairie, Minn.-based company that retrieves data from damaged computers, has dealt with that problem several times - often under humorous circumstances.

Mobile Office magazine’s October issue says Ontrack was hired to save the data from a PC lobbed into a hot tub. The company also has retrieved information stored in a PC that had been stolen, tossed into Lake Michigan and then reeled in by a fisherman who thought he’d caught a big one.
