Good old days...think I'll keep my thumb drive. That computer in 78 I
mentioned required hours of soldering components then when the project
was complete had a coil mis-wound backwards (took a long time to
troubleshoot).

I built a nice little bar out of a old surplus HP carcass. Mounted
with small fridge, sink and cabinet with a locking door ;-) It has
caused more pleasure in this state, than it ever did operational.

Leythos,
It isn't worth the bother, he believes in tried and failed systems too.
Flaw seems to run the gambit in his thinking. He believes he would be
free as a communist and a Marxist. He believes he can be anonymous.
Failure seems to be embedded in his thinking patterns, you can't fix
stupid users. He believes what is his is his and what is yours is his
too. Probably best to let him "discover" on his own.

I kind of like going to stores, finding shelves stocked, and not waiting
2 hrs in line for toilet paper for a 2 roll limit. A place where
potatoes and cabbage are not the only staples I can afford.

Anonymous has his own delusions of reality. Until he returns to the
world of reality, he will not understand the issue. Hopefully he will
find reality before those things he worries about hiding, catch up to
him. I wonder if he has ever even written any original code, interfaced
a Burroughs, or even read Das Kapital.

Nothing to worry about eh? Big Brother is a nice guy and plays by the
rules, right? This man had nothing to hide either.

those floppies, I still use the system out in the shop to track
inventory. It does that pretty well. Luckily I found a huge box of
them that someone tossed. I just reformat them once a year and rebuild
system disks and they just keep working. Of course it doesn't get
overworked tracking "my" inventory. So I guess the floppy supply I have
will probably last longer than I do. They make great training aids!

There's quite a cottage industry in supporting outmoded formats.
For instance, I have kept drives capable of reading 8 and 5-1/4
inch floppies, Colorado tape drives for QIC, Zip & Jazz drives,
etc. Every once in a while I get a call.

There was a major amount of money made here in Calgary a while
ago converting unbelievably large quantities of reel-to-reel
oilfield seismic data (potentially very valuable data) to newer
formats. There were surprisingly few drives in sufficiently good
working order to do the job (those that died were cannibalized to
support those that survived).

Interestingly, some time back the US Library of Congress
considered archiving their entire collection to CDs. The problem
that killed the idea? Not life expectancy of the media but of
the technology. It appears they were wise. With DVDs now
becoming dominant (and who knows what will follow them) it is
likely that in a few years our children will regard a CD as as
quaint as a 78-rpm phonograph record.
