I had to force quit Word because the beachball was spinning ad infinitum. When I opened Word, I had my document (recovered). I went to save over the original file from which it had been recoverd...but (you see where this is going) I saved over the wrong file. Question: is there anyway to recover the file over which I saved?
so i'm an idiot, sue me.

Just chalk it up to experience.
And so that you feel better, my wife blew away a whole 10 GB hard drive when she thought she was formatting a floppy. I noticed the following day when shortcuts on my desktop had that "default Windows icon". That's what happens when you do homework late at night (and when working on Windows
). All of our kids pictures were there....stuff that had no hard copies since we had a digital camera. Thankfully we were able to piece everything back together from somewhat recent backups that we had.
As for my music and everything else, digital heaven. I almost had a heart attack. My wife had a nervous breakdown, too.
