I was playing with our beta software one night and trashed my system only to find the Windows 95 CDs weren't in the software cabinet.

How about the cardboard "briefcase" (green and white, maybe?) of ~50 floppies to install Oracle 5 or 6?
Only to later hear a programmer say, "Dave, we corrupted it again."
Good Times.
