Hmm...

Last night found me looking over some old files. Stuff I wrote back in the 80s and early 90s. Trying to deal with the old formats was and is an interesting exercise. I really need to go through it all and convert it to a new format. Open Document Format is probably the best choice for that. Anyrate...

It was kind of weird finding lots of stuff I don't remember writing. That material seems to be more voluminous than the stories and what not I do remember from that time in my life. [sigh]

So what do you think of it? Is it better than you expected? Worse? Are you proud? Embarrassed? Does it put you back in the psychological or emotional place you were when you wrote it?

What format is it in? And how is it saved, on floppies? Idly curious.

Hmm, I'll try to address these questions in a post later in the week. I'll want to give a bit of background.

Floppies? You're kidding, right? Floppies stored on a shelf for more than a few years tend to degrade into unreadability. When you get into decades, if you're not periodically media shifting. you're looking at massive data loss.
