Not so happy new year

[Cyber Source]

I've got tons of old (and new) motherboards around here, and I'm sure we
could hook your drive up to one of my Linux drives here temporarily to
read the drive and more importantly, the phone number. Does this girl
have a friend??
Anyway, call me at 716-553-8525 if you need. peter at cybersource.us
