Bit of blue sky here, but with a grey could approaching at a speed that will put it directly over my 10 minute walk to the car park around the time I go home in 30 minutes

Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket? -

It's all grey here...
And I've got a hangover.
Still, I'm just waiting for my Bombay Bad Boy to rehydrate. That'll make me feel better....

Got my tea. weather is dry but cloudy.
Have a load of old files on floppy Circa 1988. I need some of them so I have to convert them to a different format.

My server has a 5¼" HD drive 'just in case'. It happily reads 40 track DD diskettes anyway. Or at least, it used to when I last tried, some years ago.Originally posted by zeitghostFirst, find a 5.25" disk drive*....
Then hope against hope that the diskettes are readable...
In my experience the 360k ones last a lot longer than the 1.2M ones...
*of the requisite kind... 40 track DSDD or 80 track DSHD...

I still have one.Originally posted by zeitghostYou'll probably find that it's all bunged up with dust... then you'll have to find one of those 5.25" disk drive cleaner thingies that they don't make any more...
Had to load an old MS works word processor. It wouldn't print from it as I kept getting an "Out of memory" error when I tried.
Sorted it by bringing up the files in Works, select all, copy, then paste to MS Word 2007 and save under the new format.
Am I good or what
Downloaded two converters but they converted all the formatting out of the paperwork

Some of my files (documents) are from the early eighties. written in First Choice word Processor.
Converted them all to Txt a few years ago and then on to word Format.
Never know when I might need them
