Possibly if it's nice. I'm waiting on Western Digital to get back to me on the phone. I'm bringing my hard drive. It died last week and I want to do a data recovery on it, pull the data off, put it in the drawers until I get the new one. But they want me to pretty much pay for the new one in advance or hold it on my card. And I don't use credit cards. I just use a debit, right? It's just money that I've got that I can spend like it was a credit card. But I ain't got the money to go put down a couple hundred bucks for them to hold on to for a month to get the new drive because they're going to replace the drive for free. But if I want them to send the new one first, before I send the old one, they want the cost of it up front to be held. And I'm not doing that. So I'm trying to get them to waive that fee, you know, based on the fact I'm a loyal user of their hard drives and stuff. I got them going way back, registered on my account for warranties and stuff. And I've never filed a warranty complaint because the drives are always usually good. But this one here has died. The component did it anyway. But I think the drive inside is still fine. But I need written permission from them that I can open it up to do a data recovery. You know, before I send it, they said, you know, go get the data recovery. If I try to open it and something breaks, then I don't want them to not honor my warranty as a result. So waiting for them to get back to me for that. I've got a stack of drives there on the desk to do the data backup, even if they don't send the new one first. I got to make sure it's, you know, I get it in writing that they say I can open this one and try to recover the data that's on there. So see how that goes when I get that dealt with. That's when I go out on the bike. I went out the weekend a couple times because they weren't going to call me over the weekend. They're closed. But I'm waiting for them to get back to me today, hopefully.
