how MUCH data do you have leenia? floppies don't last forever, but if you routinely back up your data and rotate sets of backup floppies they should be okay - I have over 1200 Noteworthy files on my current hard drive - buyt they take up barely two megs. I could back them up on two floppies.

I do back up occasionaly to CD - but that's just becuase I am lazy and don't want to have to sort, etc.
