Re: storage

2004-11-24 by ArleneLoveL@aol.com

I have a whole book stored  on 3 1/2" floppies made on a Brothers Word 
Processor  in about 1987. There's not a machine around that can read those floppies. 
I found a company somehwere in the mid-west that can transfer to current 
discs - but for an exhorbitant sum. I'm glad I have a paper copy . I put all my 
photos on CD's, but still rely on always having an archival print. Yes, it takes 
a lot of space, but if my CD fails, I can always copy the print.  There are 
those who  only  feel safe wearing a belt AND suspenders. ( And some of us 
carry a safety pin in our wallets, too).
