My Great Grandmother is a trip! She just turned 88 on Dec 24 and she's still driving! Her first vehicle, a tractor. Well today, I found myself in her passenger seat and it's always a good laugh and today I needed one. The way she yanked that steering wheel away from that drive through line at McDonalds today mane I hollered!
So today I got my 2nd external hard drive in the mail and as I look at it I'm inspired of the story of what it's twin hard drive went through before it arrived today. The only reason why I purchased this shiny version of the hard drive is because I couldn't find the cord for the one that now compared to its fresh out of the box counterpart "looks like what it's been through". So many frustrating moments came, it fell apart, was often times just laying around collecting dust but I knew what it was capable of and knew to keep up with it that one day I might actually need it.
When that day came I couldn't find the cord. Go figure so instead of buying a completely separate hard drive I went back to my order history on Amazon and purchased a duplicate. Even though they are valued the same, sold at the same price, something about the first hard drive is more sentimental to me because it went through what I went through with me. It was right here through all of the painstaking nights and can witness to every ache and pain. It never left my room because I was going through it or had more important hard drive stuff to do.
I hope that someone considers their Day 1 & Originals when the shiny new version shows up in the mail. Its nothing wrong with making new connections and honestly I needed a new hard drive to even make the connection with my original hard drive possible. So networking is good but don't belittle your base just because something new came, fresh out the box. Trust me, its sure to get dusty too.
