I can see that possibly there is data on those tapes they could need,
but I would think that with all the new ideas and innovations made
in the past 10 years, most of that data would be obsolete. Wouldn't
you agree? I mean, I still have my install disks from my first Sound
Blaster card. Why you may say? Memorabilia. That's all. Just some
way of remembering back to when computers were simpler and did
not require so many files so do something. Like now when I get an
error, it's not just an EXE file, but 3 DLLs, 4 of these, 6 of those.
And you never find out for sure which file actually caused the error.
We simply reinstall and all is well again. Anyway, my point was made.
Off I go again. Bye for Now.
