Too anal? Certainly not for me, and I doubt for most people
here... I didn't want to blab/stray off-topic or I'd go off for 50
pages. I image all the floppies (either normalize them or make nibble
images) copy them over a string of computers and burn the images on CD
for use on an emulator. The same images can be used to create real
Apple disk images in the future if I want to play them on a real Apple.
I hunt originals because I want to preserve as much of the original (no
crack screens, etc.) as possible.
Mega off-topic: There are emulators for PDA's... so where are
the joysticks? Who wants to abuse the integrated buttons for those
things, anyway? :) I guess its called the "external keyboard". Sigh.
Back on topic: Add "Rescue Raiders" to the list of gems. I
never thought I'd get that, let alone a "Demo copy" (used the cheat
keys/level skip keys... all the levels are intact. Demo copies of some
titles are incomplete, some are full copies w/a DEMO sticker on them.
This seems to be the latter.) Had the original receipt and some
Sir-Tech dealer promo letter in there too. Cool.

I've been thinking about this... and wouldn't it be safer to play off
backup copies? I mean, the disk could get munched in the drive, the
label could get scratched going in and out... or is that attitude too
anal for the rest of this group? B-)
