PC World of pain

I went in to PC World to pick up my laptop this morning. Yes, all the files have been recovered, and I mean ALL. There are thousands and thousands of files, representing every site I have ever visited, every photo I have ever looked at on the web as well as the 100 photos I am interested in recovering. Many pictures appear to have degraded, though many others seem to have survived intact. To find the pictures I want looks like a gargantuan task- if it it had been one of the labours of Hercules he would have sat down and wept; I certainly feel like doing just that.

To go through all the files could take many solid days of work. I went through a few hundred while I was there, just to make sure it was worth taking it away, and that took me over an hour. So my only recourse is to work away steadily on my grand project, which may take months to complete. I shall give the reader updates on my progress from time to time. Wish me luck!
