I know I saw a post on this a while back but I don't recall
any of the suggestions for preserving old floppies. I have
a few things on 8 inch floppies that are pretty much irreplacable
so any ideas are welcome!
Also, I have a number of machines that I don't use on any sort
of regular basis that have hard drives in them. I don't expect
these things to last forever but is there something I can do to
prolong the life of some relatively unused machines. (An old
Xerox comes to mind) Should I "start 'er up" every so often
(like a car in storage) or is it better to just leave well enough
alone?
Thanks!
