Quoting John <[email protected]>:
Before my last computer that supported 5.25" floppies died, I copied the
important DATA to 3.5" floppies. Those, in turn, were copied to CD-ROM
before my last computer with a 3.5" drive was replaced (although I have
since then come into possession of an older computer that has a
functional 3.5" drive). Meanwhile, the DATA is stored on multiple
CD-ROMs and multiple external HardDisk drives.
The other side of the coin though is that much of that old DATA is no
longer important enough to deserve preservation.
I never had any 5.25 floppies to worry about and copied important
stuff from 3.5" floppies to DVD and then external hard drive.
I still have lots of those 3.5" floppies though, and bought a USB
portable 3.5" drive just in case there is some stuff I forgot to copy
across.
