[Hidden-tech] ways to retrieve replaced files?

[Don Lesser]

I kind of agree. I end up keeping multiple CDs, zip disks, floppies and
files on different computers for backups. There is way too much paper in my
life as it is. Of course, I probably have too many CDs floating around, but
I like the convenience of disk copies.

Of course, I wrote my thesis novel at UMass using RNF and EDIT on the Cyber,
stored the tape version in the UMass computer library at a cost of $1.00 per
year for 3 years, downloaded the tape, converted the files to Spellbinder
(CP/M), then to WordPerfect then to Word. When it came time to extract some
sections of it for use elsewhere, I simply copied the files I needed.

To each his/her own, but that seems like a tremendous waste of paper, ink,
and time. Why not just save a reference copy on a removable medium like a
floppy disk, and keep the working copy on the hard drive?
