Wow! That's some impressive mileage!!
I had a 1996 Jeep Cherokee whose body finally gave up the ghost after I had put over 205,000 miles on it. I had bought it new with less than 25 miles on it.

HaHa! Someone was not impressed.
Yeah, he does not like the camera. He gives it the same look as he gives the ceiling fans. Well, ever since I picked him up off of the refrigerator and put his head right into the ceiling fan blades on high anyway.
Where were they hiding? If I may ask.

Oh... I accidentally configured my HD array to RAID 0. Screwed up my backup. Then a hard drive physically went bad about a year later. That's when I realized I configured it wrong. No software at that time could recover from bad hardware. The only option was to send in the drives to the people in Bunny suits sitting in clean rooms to take apart the drives, stick the platters in their gazillion dollar machines, and recover the data for me. To the tune of two to three thousand dollars.
So I packaged up the hard drives, put them in a drawer, and they've been there ever since.
Today I was reading some article about who knows what, and it mentioned this software that could recover data from anything, including RAID 0 arrays. That caught my attention for sure.
So I looked it up, and it happened to be shareware, so I downloaded it, dug the drives out of the drawer and hooked them up, next thing I know, all my files were there again! Purchased a license so I could retrieve more than 750kb.
And the rest is (recovered) history!
It's from www.ufsexplorer.com there's different versions at different price points depending on your needs.
I didn't think it would work with the bad hard drive clicking loudly, and windows screaming at me that I have a bad hard drive every five minutes. But it just clunked along, and the next thing I knew, I was looking at photos I haven't seen in a decade!

Even though I have had my D7000 several months I still think of it as new to me and me to it.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking like that. I've had it almost a year now, and I've got a LONG way to go before I get it all figured out, that's for sure!
