Okay, there's a plus side to writing I didn't consider, in that a quick look won't... well, I mean, what if you're a comic-illustrator and your mac goes south? Worse, you're like Masara Minase and your comics are, uhm, of an adult nature?

Yes, I really did laugh for about five minutes over this.

♥!

Not the same but related--when one of my external drives crashed last year, I considered bringing it to a data recovery place. I imagined the conversation would go something like this:

Computer Guy: "I'm going to read you a list of the files we can try to recover for you. Let me know which ones you want. The Hills Have Size."

Me: "Yes, that's a good one."

Computer Guy: "Invasion of the Boobie Snatchers."

Me: "You can skip that one. It wasn't nearly as good as the title promised."

And so on and so forth.

In the end, I bought a new drive and redownloaded what I could find.

I did have that sort of conversation, when my iMac died in the fall.

Apple Guy: It looks like your hard drive is dead. If it's not even coming up with that install disk, there's not much we can do at this point.

Me: *wailing* But the PORN! All the PORN I've downloaded!

Apple Guy: *makes spitting-coughing sounds*

Me: *sadly* This sucks.

Apple Guy: *makes muffled-coughing sounds*

Me: *suspicious* Are you laughing?

Apple Guy: Uhm. *clears throat* Uhm. Sorry.

Me: It's okay. *sigh* I guess I can kind of see the humor in it. But still, that was a lot of porn, and really good porn, too.

Apple Guy: *starts laughing again*

Me: This conversation is being recorded, isn't it.

Apple Guy: Ah, yes ma'am *muffled coughing* it is.

Me: Figures.

pffft. ^_^ I live in amused facepalm at the idea of me dying unexpectedly and my parents coming to clean my apartment, including my computer...with its wealth of yaoi fanfiction...a good deal of it written by me!

I would be very glad that I wouldn't be here to have THAT conversation! :P

This is one of the big reasons I back up from now on.

Definitely.

Especially when there's someone hot behind me. };->

That would be why I bought a backup harddrive. Not that I've used it yet. ^^;; I really need to go on that.....
