I have that problem!
I have files in my Documents folder going back to the 90s and Classic macOS!
- bigiain 5y ago> I have files in my Documents folder going back to the 90s and Classic macOS! Same. And while I can be sure I have them safely stored, I know for sure I have files I can no longer use because I don't have a way of running the applications needed to work with them. I must have _dozens_ gigabytes worth of copies of Zip disks and Syquest cartridges full of Macromedia Flash projects and Mac OS9 Filemaker Pro databases.
