magpie Resting in Peace Tackler Jan 3, 2009 #4 thanks guys.... now I can view all the rubbish I stored on disks ( wonder what I find )
Neil Administrator Overlooker Jan 3, 2009 #5 I wonder how many of them will still work? How long is it since you used them last? I cleared some out of the fire safe at work a few years ago. I found 2 or 3 out of maybe 200 that would not read any more.
