Photocritic has an interesting article about recovering lost images from a memory card.  This may have never happened to you, but this may be an article you file away for later reference in the event such a loss occurs.  Certianly a worthwhile read, even if you have nothing lost (yet):  Recovering Lost Images From a Memory Card (Photocritic)
