Digital BW, The Print

Something similar happened to a colleague at work with, of course, an 
upcoming presentation that was to use the images on the card.  I used 
Photorescue from www.datarescue.com and was a hero for a day.  The 
US$29.95 license fee was money well spent especially after I 
inadvertantly deleted some files on one of my cards as well.
