Yet he cld hav made it master

Few years back I had met this guy and some how he had managed to leave a lasting impression. Not that he was extra ordinary nor i was smitten by his personality. It was because of his unique principle that i often remember and laugh. He never used to remove his hard disk to transfer data. He was against making his hard disk slave. Ya you heard that right, he did not want to make his hard disk a slave. Hmmm What shall I say???
