I know.  I'll take it into consideration if the amount in there is worth pursuing.  I did look up the hash speed from the archives, next I have to figure out the earnings, I've seen charts that show the network difficulty back then.  Kind of ironic, if I had known a way to look it up before all of this I would've done it that way, then investigated what would be involved in recovering the wallet based on that information.  Other complications, I don't know that the wallet isn't over written, and or that the oxide on the platters hasn't degraded and flaked away over the years.  So, even if I sent it into a forensics lab that had a clean room and could perform various recovery services, I don't know definitively that they could recover it.  Thank you for the suggestion though.

Thank you HCP and others that have helped on this.
