Warning: I think my thrift store hard drive has a dead person's vacation on it
I picked up a cheap external drive at a Goodwill in Eugene last week, just to see what was on it. It's full of home videos from what looks like a family trip to the Oregon coast in the late 90s. The thing is, the guy filming talks to the camera like he's making a video will, giving advice to his grandkids. It feels really personal and heavy. I don't know what to do with it now, do you just delete stuff like that?

That's a piece of someone's history you're holding. Maybe try searching the names you hear in the videos online, see if you can find family. Deleting it feels like throwing away a photo album you were meant to pass on.

Yeah, that's a heavy find. Julia_fisher28 has the right idea about trying to find the family, since that drive is clearly someone's legacy. I'd feel awful just wiping it.
