Not so random, but just so awesome anyway.
I dropped my Creative Zen Vision:M onto the floor when I was carrying too many things on Tuesday. I started it up and it went straight to the recovery screen.. and I'd had this before. Failed hard drive. But this time, I wasn't hearing a clicking noise from the drive, like it was last time it failed. Today, when I was looking at a guide to dismantle it and replace the hard drive, it hit me. My Xbox DVD drive wasn't working because the IDE cable came out. I ripped open my Zen, and the hard drive moved around. No cable attached.
I plugged it back in.. and now.. it lives!
Now I don't feel utterly useless! I feel awesome!
