I "programmed" a massive choose-your-own adventure game in powerpoint by using slide links on buttons, and I really wish I could recover that, too... I distinctly remember there being a path where you could be eaten by a banjo.
It'd be one thing if I could maybe go scrounging through my parents basement to find my old PC and image the hdd, but I was such a notorious tinkerer, I was swapping PC parts around constantly and installing a new flavor of linux like every 2 months, so everything is well and clearly wiped many times over.
Even now that I have gotten into photography, looking back, my parents got me a crappy little digital camera in like 2001, and I really wish I could look back at those photos. They never got uploaded anywhere and who knows where they went.
