This panorama took some time (and all my RAM) to edit this evening HDR Pano stitched, tweaked and polished off in Lightroom, Affinity Photo, Luminar 4 and finally ON1 Photo Raw 2020.
One of my favourite images of 2019 thus far .. :-)
Well not memories per say, but hard drive platters from a number of my old drives ranging from the 10MB (the large Ferric Oxide platter leaning against the wall) to the more modern gigabyte size "platters" of today.
When you look at the large rust colored (ferric oxide) disk you can see the circular markings from a "disk crash" where the disk head literally "crashed" onto the coated surface of the disk. At the time such an event was a true disaster, and I had to retrieve the lost laboratory data from magnetic tapes! That was indeed quite an ordeal, and I saved the platter as motivation to perform my HP1000 (a small $100+K "mainframe") backups on a regular basis! But even the small amount of lab data not yet backed up was not lost, since we still had our laboratory notebooks and paper charts from our instrument recorders, and all of our experiments had sufficient documentation to stand up to FDA* (god love 'em) scrutiny!
* The only agency in America where you are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent. And the cost of proving that innocence is the responsibility of the companies regulated by the FDA. So if you ever wondered why pharmaceuticals are so expensive, in large part, you can thank the FDA (i.e. the federal government).
Note: With most other agencies (like the EPA) you have to actually pollute the environment before you can be arrested or fined for polluting the environment, whereas with the FDA you can be arrested/fined for not being able to prove you didn't break the law. A whole other kettle of fish to be sure, and a whole lot more expensive to maintain all the necessary records to prove you didn't brake the law than to defend yourself after you've actually broken a law.

A Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 motherboard, just arrived and ready to build on, seen against the background of my then current "Main Computer" (the one I do most of my computer work (including uploading of pictures to Flickr®) at... That computer bricked on me (in Frankfurt, Germany of all places, about a year on from this shot...) and has since been replaced. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon D610 at ISO 3600 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/50 sec @ ƒ 6.3.
Also seen, over on the upper right corner, is the mouse for the "Main Computer". this mouse is also now dead, but did not die at the same time as the computer - it served with the German replacement for a while...

A high end gaming PC I shot for PC Magazine in Dubai. Trying to have a little fun with having to shoot boring IT products.
