46&2 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have over 5 terabytes of stuff from mid 80s to present. My backup methods are multiple and they too (the backups) are backed up. Everything is stored locally. Its a no-brainer IMO. Most of the software from the 80s is proprietary shit from companies Ive did work for. A few good CAD programs and a bunch of engineering software. Everything is cataloged and easily accessible. The rest is warez of some variety or another. So yes I am a "collector"! Anybody keep all their medicine for your program fixes? yes to this.

Unless someone will post later that can beat that post and then we will have that awkward situation. lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 My collection begins in 1967 with programming data for the early computers I built and operated and continues with IBM and Commodore basic programs I converted in the early 80s, to my first windows disk, version 1.03, and includes 100s of floppy disks, about 20,000 CD/DVD discs, 100 hard drives, 50 portable drives, approximately 500 flash drives, and a 120TB NAS. Everything I ever downloaded or copied is backup up somewhere though it would be nearly impossible to find a specific item today since markings and labels have disappeared, fallen off, or became unreadable over the years. Wish I had all the money I spent on all that media over the years now. For example, my first CD Writer was a Phillips 2x at $700 and CDs were $3-4 each, my first flash drive was a 1999 128MB IBM at $299, which was the same price I paid for a 130MB Seagate drive in 1994 when I was paying that same amount for a 4MB Memory chip. The first Pentium 60 computer I saw in 1993 cost $6000 while an Intel 486DX2-66 motherboard cost $720 and a 17 inch Packard Bell monitor was $1000. The operating instructions for booting the first computer I used in 1967 consisted of 44 steps that had to memorized because they were classified Secret and could not be written down. A lot of data has passed thru my mind over the years, too bad it doesn't count as a storage device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGHT Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 @46&2, @teodz1984 and @straycat19 you guys a hoarder! A huge software library! I just hope when we need old software here you can help us. @straycat19 With that huge amount of stored files and software for 5 decades, you are now the WINNER! I feel puny amongst you Giants!

debebee Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm sure nobody will have use of my stuff before 90s, mostly stuff from MS-DOS era... Thousands of floppies burned onto libraries of CDs then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
