Indeed. I am very happy with some of the tricks that I developed (speeding up, and indeed allowing, Solaris C++ linking by prefiltering on MD5 hashes of canonicalised .o files -> nm, anyone?) even though they were lost without trace (yep, Lehman Brothers, where are my Imakefiles now?)...

Said space turned out to contain a "forgotten" minicomputer living just outside a machine room. I recall returning to a bank and discovering that router and load balancer admin passwords hadn't changed in seven years..
