	Etienne, it is important when reporting such disasters to the net
	that all details are provided, such as hardware and software
	configuration and versions, what DiskFirstAid reported (what version)
	and whatever other tools were handy and tried ...

	from what you are reporting, I am not willing (yet) to assume that
	the hard disk became victim of TT - but I surely would want to know
	(and publish widely in CSM.announce) if such was the case.

	please find out the details for us (including the phone-# of Times Two
	and the name of the person who said "too busy"... and then didn't call
	back; such things leave me steaming (and I am quite likely to call
	them up and to ask them (embarrassing?) questions; I also like to clear
	any company from undeserved blemish, if articles claim more negatives
	than can credibly be established...
