20yr old floppies
« on: 04 January 2009, 16:35:00 »
Whilst tidying up, found some floppies with DOS apps I wrote back in the mid/late 80s (720k 3.5" disks, thats how old!).

Thought I'd better take a copy and stick on the server, always handy to refer to.

Bugger me, every single disk read with no problem whatsoever!  Who would have thought the old floppy would be so resilient!

Why don't you do a car boot ?

Might make a few quid ;)

Or even a garage sale  ;)

I thought this was going to be similar to a Skruntie post about a young girl who doesn't look after herself ;D
