Another problem I've noticed: many people have no idea how fragile hard drives are, and they keep old ones around for years -- with a precious, unique copy of their early photo libraries... Not only is the hard-drive unused for years, but they sometimes no longer have the necessary connections available (e.g. FireWire) on their latest laptop.
