Of course, that's what I tried to express :-)

Well, if you still have a usable 5.25" floppy disk unit... Reminds me of 
helpdesk horror stories where the user either try to fold the floppy 
disk to fit it in a 3.5" unit, or just cut it with scisors. Then, they 
call to ask with this doesn't work.
Now, new computers doesn't even have 3.5" disk units, anyway, perhaps 
remove cover and put on DVD-Rom unit...

Beware, your disks may be unreadable as well, as were most of my
Apple ][ disks when I dusted it off some years ago. Only Robot Odyssey 
was usable, an excellent game...
Note that if you can read them, and has the right driver, most of them 
are unusable because going much too fast (clock based animations...).

And if really you are so nostalgic, I guess you can find most of them in 
legacy game sites, adapted to modern OS or playable on an emulator.

Uh? What does this quote does at the bottom of the message? :-(

Two signatures on the topic, that I collected because they are good:

A: Top posters.
Q: What is one of the most annoying things on Usenet?

A. Because it makes conversations really hard to follow.
Q. Why is top-posting considered antisocial?

... No comments. =o)
