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.
