I will just treat it as joke and the one written this has little
knowledge in computer, the current PC is still fully supporting 5 1/4"
drive and I still keeping one at my home (not installed in computer)
although I have no more 5 1/4" disk. The 3.5" disk has been using for
over 17 years and you can still read the 720K one. The writer should
pretend the date is 2020 not 2005, I don't think at 2005 you cannot
read your CDs. Tell you one thing, it is now 2003 and I'm still using
Clipper 87 (dBase III compiler) for my daily work, the original
program was written in 1993 and went through a few modifications to
suit my new working environment.

Concerning negative, I have already scan the one between 20 to 28
years ago and the process is continuing until I have backup all my
negatives in CDs. The fading on the negatives is so serious that I
worry any new technologies cannot retrieve the color after ten or
twenty years.
