Long story short, my laptop got a virus and after removing it I had to do a system restore. Because I didn't have
my backups stored externally, when I rebooted after the restore ALL of my wallet.dat files were gone. Possibly
unrecoverable.

Newbies - don't make my mistake. Backup your wallet.dat files on a flash drive. Just having them on your hard drive
is NOT enough.

Cheers,

Cynthia
