Well next time you upgrade just get a CD burner and transfer it. I have one now and its great! I put a lot of high-k RPG materials on them (such as Wizards reprints of OOP as a .pdf, and Fanpro's publishing of old Battletech stuff). The disks will last as long as I do and the format looks like it will be around for a while (and if it goes the way of the do-do I'll just burn/copy them onto a new format). Definitely useful...The only problem (a sentimental one) with this for me is I will have to give up my Borland Pascal 7.0. I still have the original 12 or 13 720Kb 3.5" floppies and everytime I upgrade my computer, one of the first things I do is install it. I know it is old and has fallen out of use and favor, but Pascal has always been my favorite language, going back to Turbo Pascal on my Apple II+. I did much of my undergraduate work in Pascal (on a PDP-10) and most of my Masters work, writing a Pascal compiler in Pascal and an OS too. I still like to fiddle with it occasionally. I know I can get a floppy drive as an "extra" but it really must be a sign that I should start fiddling more with VB now. Sigh!
