Digging Through Hard drives
Get your standard issued shovel over there on the racks. *points to racks*
I have a 1TB hard drive sitting next to my computer and while it's always plugged in I hardly go on it.
Well today digging through it I found some pictures, some music, and above all some documents I've forgotten about.
So what's the point of the thread?
Well with your shovel in hand or mouth... or foot. What would be the most shocking thing be that you've forgotten about be it music, documents, or pictures. You do not need to detail what you found.
I'd say the most shocking thing I've found would be stories I've wrote and forgotten about.

Of course.
On a more serious note, I haven't found many interesting things on old hard drives. I have however found a picture of a sugar glider I don't recognise and I'm not entirely sure how it got there.

Gotta love when we put things on them acting like we'll need it again sometime and forget about it. Then come back a year or two later and wonder either why does it still exist or how the heck it got on the drive in the first place.
