Yep, I've had a lot of success with restoration and heartily endorse it.
Nothing's perfect, but it does quite well with media files (had good success
recovering video footage as well). My main point was that the assumption of
"it's all gone forever once deleted" is quite inaccurate.

Rick I use Eraser to securely erase my data (35 passes). Now you would
think that after 35 passes the data would be gone forever. Well Okay word
documents are, but, it has been some time ago and i 'think' it was
restoration that i used, but just as a practical excercise i created a
seperate partition and loaded it with data, photographs, documents, etc,
then used Eraser to securely erase it. After the 35 passes of eraser i
opened up restoration and let it get on with it's work. Lo and Behold all
the data re-appeared. As i said the word documents were unreadable, but
all of the photographs appeared as normal.

Generally not .
Not true, much depends on whether the space they occupied has been
overwritten yet, and even if it has there is still a chance of recovery.
A tool such as the one recommended by Wesley is usually sufficient for
basic recovery of files that have not been overwritten. More complex
recoveries can and are done by professionals, but the cost can be
significant.
Learn to delete files (using the recycle bin) and in future
don't empty it regularly and carefully think what should be thrown away
from
the computer :)
Absolutely, the recycle bin is too often used as a "holding" place when
in fact it should only be used as the final resting place of that which
you are dead sure you no longer want or need. Even then, it should be
checked before being emptied.
