The dumbest thing I remember doing is copying my BACKUP disk onto my MASTER. I lost about a week of work. After that, I started using different colored labels for masters and backups.
The dumbest thing I've ever heard ANY person do... oh, man. A friend of mine had the hard drive for his A500 that plugged into the side. It tended to overheat, so when it started getting flukey, he took it off the A500, and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool it off. That drive survived a few weeks before it died. When he was convinced it wouldn't work anymore, he opened it up, turned it on, and did "spinart" on the platters as they were going at full speed. I'm surprised he didn't take his whole hand off! :lol:
