There's Sean Connery, who opened his laptop on a plane one day and found that its hard drive had somehow managed to erase itself; Sting, who briefly lost the records of how much he was worth; and stumble-prone President Gerald Ford, who dropped his laptop. A computer retrieved from a burning house is on display, as is one crushed under the wheels of a shuttle bus and another rescued from a cruise ship that sank to the bottom of the Amazon. As with more than 90% of the drives that come...
