Good times
Did you take a photo with it first!?!

----and re: charging clients an archiving fee. I like the way you think, but nope. Not this guy anyway... I just love how "the sound house should have it..." years later. I don't remember seeing in any contract or delivery req. saying there would EVEN be backups created at any point! So....

Then again, there's always the "I can't believe they didn't keep a backup copy of this!!!!!! I'm never working with them again, that is unforgivable!"

(just had to save a composer's bacon because the composer didn't keep original sessions/tracks for a project and had to add 35 minutes more for an extended version)

Backups are your friend...
