[LRFlex] Off topic, perenity of Data.....

Thomas:

if my memory does not fail, it was 7 1/2 inches, floppy disk. I used them some 15 years ago in Egypt!

And one day, the floppy reader went wrong, we used punched tape to load the tests. That was impressive, to me at least!

Come one, let's not think to the death of our Hard Disk!

Have you tried to find a 5 1/4" drive to read an old disk lately, or worse one of those old 8" (if that's what they were)?

Digital computer files should last indefinitely, longer than color
slides or negatives provided you have a good backup policy.

So what is your problem?

Cheers,
