Yeah, what phukraut said. Find some way to acquire the funds to send it off unless you wanna make a business out of it. It's a very tedious and time consuming process to do this type of work.
On a brighter note, maybe this will be a lesson to all y'all who don't back up your data. Whether it's burning it to CDs, burning to DVDs, having a backup harddrive, using a small storage server on a private network, or using an external hard drive; just do it.
I've lost gigs of stuff and had to rebuild, and it ain't fun. Spending a couple hundred bucks on a Maxtor or Western Digital external (USB 2.0 or Firewire) drive is well worth it, especially when the alternative is burning 9 DVDs or countless CDs. That's right, 9 DVDs. But my "My Documents" folder has 29.7 gigabits of stuff in it, then I have several other large folders. I still miss all the stuff I got from this forums previous incarnation
