Hi Guys,
main thing is , keep backups. I had mine stored safely in disk boxes in a cupboard for about 3years ( I had a music break during that time).
When I ended up with a keyboard again, I got all my disks back out. At least 50% had corrupted files. Some were missing the odd file, some were supposedly unformatted ( these had lost my files altogether). Fortunately I had backups so I managed to save some of my more important files.

best wishes
Rikki

Thanks for the tip on the Office Max floppies. I picked up a box of 100 tonight for $12.71.

12 cents apiece. Do you believe it? They do the job for me.

Hey Eddie

Did they have a coupon this time? Why only $12.71? Maybe I should get some more now too.

OfficeMax had a coupon in Sunday's newspaper that you can use to get 50 free CDRs after rebate.
