:D Btw. I guess if we would test 100 CDs and 5¼" discs, there would be more CDs around 2 years old, than 5¼" discs around 25 years old, with data loss. I could do such a test, but I won't do it. It's to much hassle to get an old computer and drive working. Btw. I used a puncher for the office http://www.teenagewasteland.de/img/dekorativ/locher_schwarz_antik_gr.jpg Save money + time by punching two discs at once :D. A switch for the light barrier, a filigree one like those http://view.stern.de/de/picture/1907793/SW-Bearbeitung-Schalter-alte-Technik-Hebel-Schaltkasten-Hebel-510x510.jpg would be a smart solution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
