Heh. Reminds me of a time I had 4 different forms of data storage for a College Presentation and not one worked (in order: Saved in the HD, Pendrive, e-mailed to myself and even a hard copy), but it was because the original save was corrupted and I didn't check as I printed and copied...
And that just because I followed a rule of thumb from a professor of mine: always keep two backups and a hard copy of important data, less than that and you can still be screwed, more and you were destined to be screwed. Since the problem was with the original I can hardly blame her...
(And on the "brazilian" part, I can't say it was offensive, but it's like forgetting half of Canada speaks english)
