Gah, I always hate it when I lose save files, but it's definitely worse when you're about to finish a game... losing my N64 Goemon's Great Adventure save one ticket short of getting everything (43 of the 44, like Mario 64's stars), or having Super Mario World erase my save file at Bower's Castle but before beating him, or losing my Wipeout 64 save file and having to start over... (though that game is easier when you replay it than the first time)
Fortunaltely nothing has happened to my GC memory cards. I did have a couple files corrupt, but I'm pretty sure that was poor programming, not the card itsself -- it only affected one file each time (SpyHunter and Midway Arcade Treasures)... MAT didn't affect much other than highscores, but losing that SpyHunter file was annoying. I had beaten all of the missions and started on the hard challenges after that... :(
... I just leave my 1019 and 251 (with some additional saves for Eternal Darkness and some other games, F-Zero GX since I couldn't move it, etc) in the system all the time...
