Great run for all-original equipment. I worked at Shell's Westhollow Research Center in the mid-90s. We handled the nightmare of standardizing the desktop space (for the first time ever).
A lab was decommisioning an instrument controller that had been running non-stop since they had first spun it up, fresh out of tge paking box, a decade previous.
And they had never backed up any of the data. Sure, the solution was the pretty straight forward use of a stack of floppies. It was still pretty nerve-wracking having a bunch of high-powered research scientists watching over my shoulder, "making sure" I got all their research data off the machine they were too smart to ever back up themselves. Good Times.
