My old floppy disk taught me a lesson I'll never forget
I had all my school work on one floppy disk for months. Then one morning, the drive just made a weird noise and wouldn't read it. I basically lost a whole semester's worth of essays. It's crazy how we relied on those little things without a backup.

Floppy disks taught us to back up data the hard way, just ask @west.skyler's friend with the wedding photos.

Friend lost his wedding photos the same way.

Oof, that hurts to hear. I had a similar scare when my laptop's hard drive crashed right after a big family reunion. Lost all the videos from that weekend, and it still bugs me years later. @west.skyler, your friend must be gutted, what's the worst thing you've ever lost to tech failure?
