[Hidden-tech] ways to retrieve replaced files?

I've done both--kept a hard-copy and another copy on
CD for backup.  

I started keeping hard copies after losing several
short stories that were written on a tinker-toy
wordprocessor and couldn't be translated by my
newfangled windows '98 and Microsoft Works program.  I
also re-copied my thesis work--which I have not only
on my hard-drive but on 3 1/4 floppies and hard copy,
to a CD--just in case they one day do away with 3 1/4
floppies *and* my hard drive explodes (or I get a new
computer.)  

Plus, I can only do fine-tune editing on hard copy. 
My eyes don't adjust well to computer screens (no
matter what I do) and I often miss small edits.  

So, it's only a waste of ink and paper if you see it
that way ;-)
