[or-roots] Fische film copier

[DanM]

Those old disks loose integrity after a few years and become unreadable, better make it soon, and also recopy them , just reading them wont restore the magnetizeum on them.

   I have a few old Apple II's, and mics things plus a box of prgs some one can have free... 
and a few old Leading Edge XT's complete that work too free.

     I still have my first Vic 20 and all my old commodore computers and test equipment from when I used to repair them and had a very large Commodore club, most of the stuff is still here my museum so to speak

 History of Oregonians who are still living
 is not that boring, nor off topic I don't think, 

how do we get all this data?
 Conversation brings out a lot of it.

  Gee, this group loves to bicker!  What does it matter who bought what...my sister and I once bought a used 2,000 pound printing press and wedged it in our bedroom.  We never did get it to work right and I can't even remember why we thought we needed it, but we had fun at the time...especially hauling it in the back of our dad's pickup from Portland to Southern Oregon.  When my parents later sold the ranch, the printing press was still in the bedroom....we got it in there, but it wasn't so easy to get out again.  For all I know, it may still be sitting there!  There will still be some caches of old micro around for awhile so if RAChesley has the space and patience to give an old film reader a new home, more power to her.  I still have an old Apple IIe computer packed away because I have so many documents on big floppy disks that may need reading and printing some day...it's hard to keep pace with technology!
