Hi Guys,
In a long time in this industry I've seen quite a lot, when it comes to data recovery two incidents come to mind.
The first was when a customer asked me to recover some data from an 8" floppy disk if I could.
I gave them specific instructions about making a copy and packing it for collection, when the package arrived in the office for my attention - it contained a photo copy of the original disk along with a list of files that they wanted me to recover.
The second was somewhat later and was a 5 1/4" floppy from the same customer, it arrived with a note attached saying that it was the only copy they had - the note was on a compliments slip that had been carefully stapled to the disk.
If I have learned anything in the business, it's when you think that you've made things idiot proof - you find out that the idiots have been upgraded.
Regards
Dave
