Earlier this week, I accidentally dropped a box full of old computer parts that hadn't been touched in almost a year. Some old hard drives flew out and crashed on the floor.
I thought "good thing everything on those drives is backed up, and nothing critical was lost."
Yesterday I got a call from one of the former owners of one of these drives. They lost the USB stick I gave them a long time ago with their software license key that I pulled from one of those drives.
The drives I had been hoarding could have saved us $500 on Adelo POS software. One man's trash really can be another's treasure.
