Thank you, this is a perfect illustration and one of the scenarios I feared around keeping data long-term, though I was thinking about disk errors and such. Sidenote I seem to have experienced Cunningham's Law for the first time semi-consciously, as I was aware my claim is most probably wrong. Still, I wonder if data corruption is a more common scenario rather than crashing, because ever since I use Linux I don't recall experiencing many crashes I couldn't attribute to a driver issue or known instability in the software I used, especially on compatible hardware. Windows days were another story... But maybe the memory modules were worse back then and perhaps having less memory made it more likely to crash?
