You're right -- fumble fingers in the AM! :-) Sorry about that!

What was presented as a "crisis" to me over 20+ years of IT has almost always been something with a lot of unnecessary emotional baggage
attached to it.

Whatever became of BeOS... wasn't that the OS that instead of
debugging information on a halt-condition it actually recited poetry
or haiku?
I have a seperate folder in my Outlook with many of these amusing
"gems".

It's amazing the dirt you get on people working in IT, even if it's not deliberate.
As much as I've always tried not to view or pay much
attention to client data
aside from verifying file integrity, the sheer amount
of all manner of Porn
that has been thrust in my face when restoring systems
over the years is simply
astounding.

I believe so. Much like AmigaOS and its "guru meditation".

I don't feel comfortable trying to make judgement calls like that but that not the first nor the last time I've had to do my job and deliver news like that or have to tell my supervisor of what I found.
One of the reasons I hesitate to go back into that kind of IT work.

When I handed him his phone back you could see that he was
uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything.
Backups? Whats that?

Oh god, I had a physical reaction to that.

Ask him if he likes chicken.
Watch the parents of a teenage boy's reaction when I tell them that their wonderful son overclocked their computer and the estimated cost to repair...

Meh, that doesn't have any visceral reaction for me. Then again I've
never run into anyone doing any real damage overclocking. Dried out thermal paste and a cooked cpu once or twice, but even that is rare.
And i've been away from the consumer and retail scene forever.
I don't feel comfortable trying to make judgement calls like that but that waw not the first nor the last time I've had to do my job and deliver news like that or have to tell my supervisor of what I found.
I've had a couple of awkward encounters with that as well. One of the
the next app which was photos, and of course there is a giant cock on the screen.
But shit like what you ran into is why I actively try not to be aware
of what the content of client data is. If all I know about is the data block I'm recovering, I don't have to make any judgement calls about
it.

I've kinda lost my yen for working in IT. If I do have to go back to
work in IT, I want to work in a server room where I don't have to deal with "customers" that much and can be mostly left alone to do my work. That's what I enjoy the most about working in IT. I only turned to
doing deskside tech work because most of what I did got outsourced to India in the 90s.
Deskside support is great, with the right crowd. I supported teams in
North America for 10 years at a large worldwide company, and I'm
pretty good at it. In my current gig I'm a solo IT Manager for a small
shop that's part of a huge global company, and it's a great gig. Nice

I ran that here for a little while. I think I bought the other copy. I'll give them props, it was fast.

I heard from others that it really was an underrated OS in many ways.
I opted though for a more Debian based Linux OS as BEOS
seemed somewhat limited to running software only written for BEOS.
