How deep are the scratches? if they are small than try using rotten-stone on them before the sand-paper. It is like 4000 grit sand paper and wont make smaller scratches around the bigger ones. You may also find something like Dupont non lithium silicone spray and try filling in the scratches in

All that is needed is to copy them to the 3.5" floppy and use an external drive to copy them to the eMac. If both computers are going to be used than an external drive is necessary anyway and the old computer can still be used for storage. On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 1:43 PM, Steve R wrote: >
