today’s fun weekend experiment was recovering data from a 256mb ibm hard drive i had in my childhood IBM PS/1 486 SX-33, from 1994 to 2000. in 2000 the power supply died, taking out the motherboard and hard drive with it.

i hung on to the drive in case i might some day have the knowhow to recover the data. 25 years later, today is that day.

what disturbing insights into my teenage life does it contain
