Russell, when you say you "lost" the pics due to a memory failure, can you elaborate a little? My company recovers data from just about any type of storage medium for people all over the world. I mean we have recovered data from hard drives that were nearly unrecognizeable. I'd be happy to take a look at it, and see if anything is recoverable. As with all of my customers, there would be no charge if the data is unrecoverable, and since it's just memory and I like your pics just as much as everyone else, I'd do it free of charge. You can PM me if you want to give it a try.
