This is why I simply don't throw away data. It's so cheap to just store it indefinitely. I have all my personal projects, emails, instant messages going back to 2002. It's literally just a matter of copying your home directory when getting a new computer... Sure, you can get fancy with backups, cloud, and whatnot, but data hygiene 101 is just not throwing it away. I don't get why it's so hard.
