SNIP
<<They are now being burned onto CD's for a buck just like music is played
on and
Zip's and Jazz Drives all Media which upgrades fluidly. If you had some
Tiffs on
some floppies and went out and got an iMac with no floppy you'd have to
bring it
to Kinkos or somewhere to put them onto a Zip or whatever you had. So no
stuff
wont get lost that way.
But it is magnetic media so if a nuke goes off or you put them down near a
magnetic thing like a speaker it could get erased. And they would just
gradually
disappear like everything does anyway.

bin!
