The case of the not so user friendly software companies

After Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida, many companies had trouble proving legal ownership of their software.  The storm either destroyed the books and disks or transported them miles from their origin.  A number of software vendors were reluctant and in some cases refused to replace the software without the original disk or manual being presented.

Note to self:  If time allows - collect manuals and disks and store them in a safe location to ride out the storm.
