It's the sort of disaster you can only conjure up in your worst nightmare. In Juneau, Alaska, things are back to normal now at the Department of Revenue, but we've just been told that a computer technician accidentally wiped out a hard drive last year. No just any old hard drive, mind you. It contained much of the relevant information on a $50 billion dollar account. While reformatting the disk drive during a routine maintenance check, the technician mistakenly reformatted the backup drive as well, dumping all the data. The lost data all 300 cardboard boxes of it - had to be rapidly re-scanned into the system. Wednesday, March 21, 2007
