I have whole bunch of CDs and DVDs (media and data) many way older then 10 years. Some I burned myself and some were bought. Nearly all doing nice and dandy.
More then that I have an old box of 3" floppies dated 92-95. I recently decided to check some old code, bought USB floppy drive and I was actually able to read them. Well not all of them but still ...
- ddingus 7y agoThing is they work, until they don't. Nearly all may = massive decline soon as much as may mean you are done for another decade... If you value it, move it now.
- FpUser 7y agoWho says that I did not. All that really matters was backed up years ago in a few places. But I still have the originals and was just curious. There is something about fishing out old CD and putting it into player. As for those floppies I was just curious. I could care less if I did not find that old piece of code I mentioned. I was just curious to look at it and see how my way of thinking did change.
- ddingus 7y agoNo worries. That is written for passersby as much as anything else.
