baratunde.com — There is a tightness in my chest, and I am crying right now. I have just suffered a catastrophic data loss for the second time in my life. Fool me once, shame on, shame on, fool me can’t get fooled again, or something like that.

"Well, since he's already paid for all of that content, I'm sure he can just download it again, right? Right? Right!?!?" Yes, that's exactly what he did. He contacted Apple and got the vast majority of his stuff back. Check out the update on his site.

hey all. thanks so much for the incredible advice and support. i'm glad so many folks are starting to think about and actually do a backup of their important data. quick Digg question. as of now, this post as 2,000+ diggs yet has fallen off the top ten lists for technology and overally. any idea why? is there a time limit or something?

A similar line was used by Ricky Gervais' character in "Night at the Museum"<a class="user" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=-UUB6BZwMj8">http://youtube.com/watch?v=-UUB6BZwMj8</a>

He is right about backing up your data. I preach this to my book keeper. I told her a thousand time's to back up her files in quick books. She did do it some time's. Well long story short the hard drive died. She had her last back up disk that was a bout 6 months out of date. Thank god we had hard copies saved. I made her enter all that data for free because she freaked up.
