Poker Data Mining Collapse Leaves Little Hope For Thirteen

Two Geek Squad representatives work feverishly to recover PokerTracker information lost after 13 online poker tables - data-mining for 60 consecutive hours - suddenly collapsed underneath an apparent information overload.
In what is being described as, "an unfortunate, but avoidable mishap," by roommates and friends, a local college student is coping with the potential irrecoverable loss of thousands upon thousands of online poker hand histories. Preferring to go by his online poker screen name, AAvaglikAA, the area college student said he believed the Geek Squad reps were doing there best to save his data.
"I just can't believe all that hard work might be gone. I had been multi-tabling 3 tables when my buddy, KracKnKK, pinged me in the Instant Message box and told me I could just open up more tables and it would keep track of the other players without even playing at the table. I was totally stoked and fired up 10 more tables."
Initial reports suggested AAvaglikAA had only the 13 online poker tables running, constantly collecting poker hand history data, however the first Geek Squad representative on the scene, Jon Ricket, raised the possibility that the harddrive collapse may have been caused by an array of questionable activity.
"We're pretty sure there is a pornographic DVD stuck in the drive, not to mention a trail of porn and chat room sites that were open at the time of the collapse. There's also some disturbing web cam pics my co-worker, Thomas, has already retrieved from the recoverable files."
Recalling the moment the collapse began, AAvaglikAA added: "When things started going haywire and the tables were dropping left and right, I knew I had to write a note before hope faded. I managed to type, 'tell MommaQQ I love her,' in the chat box of the last poker table open before things completely blacked out."
