Computer Disks
 
There are no stupid questions, right?!

Am deep cleaning (get OUT of here - it's TRUE!) and I've kept a few old disks (from back when they were all gray and Windows didn't exist...). They hold files that I'd like to keep, but if there is no hope they will ever be opened without great effort and expense, then it is time to ceremonially trash them. Thoughts?

Ha ha, say no more! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png Some times the past is best unopened anyway...

Thanks, Macadoodle!

Que? Great effort and expense? A USB floppy drive is $15 at Staples. Effort I can see you saying. Dumpster diving disks is tedious but what is expensive about this?

Nline, that is what I was asking - I didn't know about the USB floppy drive for $15 at Staples. Thanks!

Searching online it is more like 25 bucks but still not to expensive. And you can often find them on the discontinued tables at the box stores.

I have a floppy drive you can put them in.



Wait a minute..........that sounded bad.http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/omg.gifhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/omg.gifhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/106.gif

Really I do though.......get them to me and I can put them onto a cd or dvd for you!
