It's fascinating when a device's raison detre becomes a afterthought.

"Superior placement of sesame seeds and buns made to painstaking tolerances make for a delightful hamburger experience…"

@kdfrawg The Hail Mary worked thank heavens. Got a dump of their data and a new system is on the way to them.
MySQL frm file could not be read at all from the disk. Thankfully, we were able to ftp another frm file straight into the directory and get a sql dump.
@literary The difference is night and day. She is still prone to panic attacks but rolls with the punches a lot better. I think the fact that I've fought manic depression in the same manner since I was 16 helps. "This, too, will pass" is definitely the attitude to take when it hits.

@phoneboy In my wife's case, the drugs made her symptoms worse. She obsessively washed her hands until they were raw and would break out in full-blow panic attacks at the drop of a hat. After we weaned her off the meds, the obsessive compulsive stuff just vanished.
