I met Mark Taylor from TAYLORMARK a couple years ago when I had a hard drive failure. He watches The Brief and invited us over to his office to see if he could recover it. He recovered that one, and then a little later, I had another failure and he recovered that one. This is now my third drive to bring to him. I like him because I'm cheap and he charges between $499-$799 for most recoveries. That's about half of what other places charge. I wanted to share Mark with the Geek Brief audience as a resource. He's developing a new data recovery store concept that's designed to calm the nerves of anybody who comes in scared to death that they've lost their precious photos or business data. When you walk into the door it feels more like a spa than anything technical. All the technical magic happens in the back, and customers never see it. The Geek Brief audience has lots of hard core geeks that can recover their own data, but we also have a lot of people who are just casually interested in technology ...
