Until today I had a drawer full of diskettes. No more!
I decided that I needed up to 70 diskettes for the future. I separated the diskettes into those which were original software diskettes, and those I used for the backup, and for other things.
One of the things about Slow Tidy is getting the equipment I need. One of those was a floppy disk reader. Unfortunately, the first one I bought didn't work. But the second one does, and I have reformatted 80 diskettes today that I will keep. There were about 10 duds, but that is to be expected when the diskettes haven't been used for 10 years.
The duds are being recycled, the original software diskettes will go to someone who can use them, and the remainder will go to work - free to a good home.
I have also cleaned out four shelves in my computer desk today, and removed other old computer gear. The diskettes now have a home, and I have a free drawer for something else.
Al together, a good day's work!
