I took few dozens images of the scene, almost as good as a video . I copied them to my hard drive, but I have never backed them up. As a matter of fact I had many, many quite unique images, that were not backed up. Few months later something happened to my computer, and I did a full system recovery with hard drive formatting . Then I used a program that was able to recover very few of the hundreds images I lost. That's why this crab image is a very special for me.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Backup is for the feebles. Real men just upload their stuff on the Net. ;o) Linus Torvarlds

Yeah, right, except the "real man" was blocked at the time as usual :( :) --Mbz1 (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
