Hi all,
Well, so far, here's the latest.
One list member told me CDs don't last, he lost a whole archive of stuff on a CD.
Thumb drives (I've ben told), last only 10 years, so forget using those.
Of course, hard drives crash, so, don't put your stuff there.
That brings us back to something all of us have either laying around, or used in the past, the floppy disk.
I've used them for 8 years now and they still have my data on them, so, what do you all think about those, and here's another one, what about flash memmory?
There's another storage idea.
Harry
