I second the motion to make Back-up disk images of any vintage software before endangering it. I would use a hi-res camera. Scanners ensure perfect lighting and focus with almost zero setup time.A good camera will give you similar results with a little set-up time.Your cell phone is probably good enough. Turn on multiple lights to eliminate shadows. rest the phone on the back of a chair near the table to reduce shaking. If the lights are bright enough it won't matter. take 4 or 5 shots, and chose the best. Crop it and save it to one of the "cloud" services, to download to your computer without cables. I do this with Expense account receipts when travelling..

Too many to bother listing individually. My question is, what's the consensus for just scanning the disks/labels and post the scans. Anyone think stray scanner stepper fields might erase the disks? I doubt that I have anything particularly interesting, but maybe. Anyhow, thoughts? John W.
