To which Commodore Clifford replies...

I think for me it was when Rubber City Atari pulled the plug and my own
BBS went down after a hard drive crash ruined a couple weeks of work of
improvements I had made.  It was heartbreaking and the only backup I had
done was the pre-work one (I had literally just finished and hadn't done
the post-work backup yet).

Funny, this past week, (almost 30 years later) I finally got around to
getting some of those improvements back in.  (Seems like it was way
easier this time, as if guided by a younger self).
