    I went through every single disc before I donated them, yeah. Actually I did some organization so one spindle was all Anime, another was all SciFi, so on.

    …found a fair bit of porn. I kept the porn. TV series are ephemeral. Porn is eternal.

      Not optical disks, though. Especially burnables. They have a shelf life. Make sure to replicate the data in time.

        It is so depressing how much I lost as a kid.

        My backup method was almost entirely optical. Oh well. I’ve kept myself from feeling too bad by keeping in mind that I am waaaaay too lazy to ever go digging through it anyway.

        Good point. For all I know I’ve got the last viewable copy of “Sodomy Cream Pies” in existence.
