Do I remember any of them? hell no, lol. But I had how to read programs drilled into me, so I can look at PHP and others and figure out what they are doing and hack them.

Back on topic, I had two different external drives that both failed, so I'm not a big fan of them. But that was about 4 years ago, so I'm figuring the technology is a lot better. Then again, I fail a C drive about once a year, so it might be just me.
