A car on the Drive for 9 months

Angela dropped a development change request on my desk for amendment for ISA Statement print, 4 hours in total for change and testing. Timing was based on my initial quote 9 months before. 'Ha, good old days of app components'.
By now I almost forget everything I have done before. Even my Unix account has been 'silently' deprived.
I can't help to think of my old Ford that has been left on the drive for pretty same length of time untouched. To drive it to the nearest superstore takes about 5 minutes. However, to get it started, probably need a new battery and one or two hours checking and warm up.
Need to recover the memory dump...
