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 now regret revamping my icons and deleting the cat in the fruity hat
