OK, much as I suspected, that old
floppy disk I found in my underwear drawer didn't have anything of
value on it.
The only thing on it was one file that
dealt with an issue that's been over and done with for a good five
years now, so there's really no further point in keeping that disk or
the file. There's value to posting the file here, and since that
particular method of saving information is badly out of date now,
I'll just toss the disk.
But it did get me to thinking about the
laptop I used to check it out on. I'll probably hold onto that for
another year, since that's how much longer my antivirus on there is
good for, but beyond that, I don't know. In the end, I hardly ever
use any of the programs on that machine, but that's in part to how
old and slow that particular unit is compared even to my desktop PC,
which is itself several years old now.
And it's not that I really need a
full-on laptop anyway. Considering what I'd use it for, I could
probably get by with a tablet or what they call a hybrid. So I guess
I'll be half-assed looking into that over the course of the next year
or so.
Until then, in the highly unlikely
event I find another few floppies to work with, I'll talk about those
if they're worthwhile. I'll also probably say something if and when
I finally decide to replace my laptop.
