i had to read some old Zip disks in order to prepare docs for my accountant...(haven't used the Zip drive for years)

i wanted to format some old 250 meg Zips but thought i'd look at them first.

i found some work i did going back to 2004 that i threw out from my HD, but was amazed to see some stuff i was working on then that i gave up on at that time; but looks really interesting now.

you might want to clean up your earlier code, but the concepts are still there.

That's lucky!

I had an HD from 2000 but it has seized up and no longer working

I would backup your stuff on cd/dvd but even those degrade
