Any good internal memory card readers? by
Ant[_3_]
Hello.
Is it me or are those desktop IBM PCs' internal memory card readers
really bad? I owned two of them (cost $15 IIRC) so far. Their big

I did not have...

finally tossing all my old floppy disks - the end of an era by
Andrew Hamilton
I recently connected my 3 1/2" floppy drive to one of my systems, and
discovered that all my old floppies are no longer readable. And, most

Why not backup files in original format? by
02befree
Looking at several file backup programs and they all seem to want to backup
a session into some big file with a strange file extension like a cab file.
Nero backup, Microsoft Backup, etc. When you go to Restore from these, it
probably works fine if your setup is the same, but if the backed up...
