Yes, she should have backed up her notes as plain text and now she knows. But that still wouldn't restore the position of the notes, which she needed and talked about. I can see that happening to a lot of people -- even the ones who back up their notes but don't understand the format the backup files will be in.

Had he had it in digital form and used back ups as common sense dictates, he would have had a copy of all the work. Only an idiot don't back up their work - in particular audio and video work, academic papers and so on.

The point is that he
was an idiot. The co-producer and artist wanted to murder him and then continue to torture him in the afterlife.
But I doubt he made that mistake ever again. He told me about this twenty years after it happened and he was still a prolific producer when I knew him.
