Default OT -- keeping old floppy disks

Yes, I could copy that all to my (old computer's) hard drive. Burn it all
onto one CD, and pitch the lot of floppies into the burn barrel.

Don't count on floppies to last forever. If they are more than about 10
years old they are no longer reliable. If you really want to keep the data
on
them better copy it all onto a hard drive or flash drive now. Even if
every floppy is completely full, it's only about 300 MB, not much space
on today's storage devices.
