pjbSolutions.com is my own little neighborhood shop on the internet and is physically based in the New York City / Northern New Jersey metropolitan area. Being an avid photographer, I enjoy taking pictures of my travels. Digital photography allows me to reflect on the vibe of what it was like when I was physically there - a visual travelogue, if you will. The nature of my travel curiosity led me to websites such as VirtualTourist.com; heck, I even volunteered as an "Anglo-conversationalist" in an English immersion program run by Spanish-based Vaughan Systems, but I digress.
So what does this have do with the service I'm providing? Well, on VirtualTourist's forums I have assisted people pleading for help with questions such as "my computer/camera can't read my memory card", "oops... I deleted again!", "rescue a drowning digital camera", and "lost photos". Seeing that more and more people are transitioning to digital cameras and storing images and other data onto removable media storage, these electronic data cannot afford to be "lost". In fact, just because a computer/camera cannot "read" the memory card does not mean that the data is gone forever. Even data from "formatted" memory cards can be recovered in certain instances. Thus the nexus for my DRS4media data recovery service.
The following statistics show the potential for such a service:
