two different methodogies.

EXXONMobil calculated what it would cost to recreate the records in
the boxes. I remember that for one box it would have cost over $11K to
recreate the information in that box.
For ExxonMobil they still needed the information that was on the old records

for the other plaintiff it was more difficult since a lot of the
records were related to trust records.

this is not a case of "gee I wish I had electronic rather than paper"
