1. You'd upload a few pictures from that magical time you went to Warped Tour, and all of a sudden you were out of hard drive space.
2. The most exciting portable game you owned was on your graphing calculator, and it always got wiped right before a big test.
3. Your huge collection of 25MB color-coded floppy disks got out of control very quickly.
4. And when you spilled Surge all over the floppy disk holding your big PowerPoint presentation, you just had to deal.
5. You dumped all of your Blink-182 albums on to the family desktop computer in the kitchen, only to realize that you couldn't properly appreciate "What's My Age Again?" while your little sister sat three feet away from you eating cereal.
6. You'd break out into a cold sweat whenever the little hourglass replaced the cursor.

12. The look of judgment on the computer girl's face when you had to admit to her that you didn't back up your hard drive.
13. Or maybe you did back up, but in the back of your mind you knew that all it would take was one fire. One fire, and it'd all be gone.
