Check Facebook Marketplace. At least you could still read your files maybe even convert them to something...

I use an Australian product call Magnoplasm Paste. It is a drawing paste containing glycerol and dried magnesium sulfate. For really bad splinters you put some of the paste on the area & a sticky bandage over it for 24 hours or so. The splinter will come to the surface. I am about to use it on a...
