I thought I had long ago transfered all my floppy disks to other media. I just found a stash of them. Now if I just had somthing that could read them.

Cool.

I wonder if there's a 5.25" version.

Now -that's- going old-school. You'd probably have better luck finding an old computer with both types of floppy drive, or a 5.25" floppy and a 40MB HDD to use as a go-between.. :D

You must be cleaning out old boxes too.

Actually I'm cleaning out my old desk, which broke beyond repair a few months ago. It's been sitting in the living room waiting for me to clean it out before D disposes of it.

I'm sure I have to save all the stuff. I mean someone one day has bound to want a Win98 disk and the Win98SE upgrade for it. Oh and the instructions to some printer I don't even remember owning. And the user manual for the free digital camera that Mindspring sent me for switching to them (BTW the camera and the internet service was worth a lot less than I paid for either). Oh and this stuff here and there and everywhere. OMG. How can so much stuff fit in here?!? ARGH

I picked up a USB floppy drive for $1 at a government surplus store a while back. It comes in handy at times. Works in any computer. It even came with its own neat little nylon case
