I feel sad about you dude! How can you say such a thing? :not_ok:

I find this funny, you should too. It's a joke, a cruel one, but a joke nonetheless - loosen up.

*points to hard drive*

That thing has more value than all my games on cds put together. Seriously.

I belive you. I tried to burn my CakeWalk tracks onto cds, but being wav, and each song having from 10-30 tracks, burning it all would take some 50 cds. I just don't bother to get started for real. And then there's all those docs and stuff. Yeah, I'd say let the games burn as long as I can keep my HDD. One nice gadget is the "drawer", that makes my HDDs removable. Just put in the HDD I need, and voila.

Like I said. And I also have a mobile rack with more of my important data saved there, so if there was a real fire, I just rush in, flip the swith, yank out the drive and make a run for it. (if I have time I rip Da R3al Th4aNg outta the box too...) ;)

What would you all only do if your HD's would suddenly give up it's breath one day... :P

Mighty Midget 29-11-2006 06:18 PM

Do? I don't think we're supposed to discuss murder and mayhem openly :ph34r:

Seriously though: "Always keep a backup of important files and documents" is a golden rule. Another thing is, and that's rather interesting: What will we do when important data can no longer be used because it's no longer compatible with the systems of tomorrow. It has already began to happen, and it is a threat to governments as well as libraries.

Hissssssss! Be gone evil witch!!! Thou shalt not curse our HDDs!

Furthermore, I have my mostest importantest data burned to CD... aargh, I stand the word burning no more... Mommy!!!!!

That's some really low space data you got there. A CD, lmao - that's so... 90's. I guess I'd have to take a 500GB HDD to fit my current important data. :P

We transfer data from HDD's to CD's, from CD's to HDD's, from HDD's to DVD's, from DVD's to HDD's and from HDD's to Blu-ray, the line goes on. As long as one keeps frequent enough backups of his most valued data it will remain compatible even further in the future, with the help of dedicated modders and programmers who work on compatible software and emulators similar to the DosBox crew. I doubt there will be ever real problem with incompatibility.
