Comment A Data Point (Score 1) 184

As a data point, at work I took an 80GB Intel SSD from the IT guys' desk drawer (I needed it for a project and that's all he had available as he had a bulk order out). He told me it would probably be blank, since he hadn't used it in over a year. I found a whole PC worth of data on there which I had to format. He was surprised and until reading this article, I really didn't understand why. At least in my case, everything was there and could be read just fine, over a year after it had been written. It was in a 70F office both while in use and in storage.

Solomon was the richest man who ever lived, and he got there by following God. Job was rich, Joseph was second in command of all Egypt. Daniel of Babylon and Persia. Esther became a queen. All by following God. I am pretty wealthy myself by the world's standards (just upper middle class by US standards). I thank God for all his many blessings here and hopefully more in the world to come.
