I literally squeezed the data out of a drive once. 40M Connor, one of the first IDE drives. If I squeezed it too much, “Data Error, Abort, Retry, Ignore”. Too little? Same result. Just right? In like Flynn!

I spent 40 minutes copying that drive, got every bit back.

Boss asks, “What are you doing?”

“I’m milking the data out of this drive!” ;)
