Re: That nice Sony company

Hello Jim, 

I systematically went thru all my 5-1/4" disks a few years ago and
copied them all to CD's and got rid of the 5-1/4" drive.


A good policy. I should do the same although I'll have to keep a few of them. In the old days the sticker on the disk with the numbers on there was your license so you hafta keep it. Probably nobody is going to look at this old stuff anyway but I try to keep everything legit.

Just found the PC-DSP disk. It was properly stored in the first CAE binder. Duh.... Sure enough the license sticker couldn't withstand all those hot summers out here and it came sailing out before the disk.

Regards, Joerg
