Howdy, Do I now have several useless disks? I have system 6.0.4 (wow) from Apple as well as Backups of 6.0.7. What CAN I do with these? Just so you know: dead disks make GREAT coasters. =========================================================================== "We seek peaceful coexistance!" | Mike "Yeah, and monkeys will fly outa my butt!" | gaines@mars.njit.edu =========================================================================== Wayne's World: The Next Generation...NOT! ===========================================================================

I may be missing the obvious, by why not just erase them and use them
as blanks? A large portion of my blank disk supply is made up of old
Apple master disks.

Amazing how long that thing has >lasted (and as an 800K disk, too-- when it was originally 400K) Heh. I still have my original System (1.0) and Write/Paint disks from a long while back. In early '85 I sent off my original MacWrite disk on a trade-in discount for a program doomed to be forgotten, called "Word Handler," which I hoped would be the answer to my word processing prayers. Since then I've gone through every version of MS Word, every version of WriteNow, and every version of WordPerfect, and I'm still looking for the be-all in word processing. Though WriteNow has served me well in its stead. I should probably bronze those old System disks... >Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu Derek L. (Yeah, yeah, I know...
