If they still work then you would need to find a reader, these have been extinct for quite a few years... https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=zip+disk&client=firefox-a&hs=5fD&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=nts&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=9jJuVO32Mee5mwXMloC4Cw&ved=0CCkQsAQ&biw=1485&bih=979 john -----Original Message----- HI CREW, Yeah I know it's me asking a techie question! :-) Well you all know "I'm clueless when it comes to techie things." So please be kind to the "old lad." Thank you. :-) Remember those little, I think they were about 2"X 2"square discs we loaded all kinds of images on? Then technologies advanced and we moved to CD's and Memory Sticks" And heaven knows what? I have quite a number of those 2X2 discs, if that's what they're called? Can I take them to some computer techie shop and have the info on them downloaded to memory sticks of today? I'm sure there's a wealth of "old images" loaded on them and I'd like to retrieve them if possible? And not going to cost the Bank of Canada monetary reserves to pay for the change over? :-) At one time I did have a back-up hard drive, unfortunately the chap installing it didn't do it right! YEP you guessed! So when we did have a computer crash and burn I lost about 10,000 images because the back-up drive wasn't doing anything but taking up space in my little computer room!!! :-( :-( Your suggestions please. Thanks a bunch. cheers, ted
