Vogon International has created an "end user program" so that regular users have access to data recovery at better rates than businesses would be charged. The program is called AuthenTec. It is only for individuals, or very small home businesses. http://www.vogon-international.com/vision/15/authentec.htm http://www.authentec-data-recovery.com/ The good news is that, at this price, the same Vogon engineers that do professional recovery for large corporations work on your drive, using the same clean rooms, etc., it is just that they don't do the recovery on a priority basis.
