What in your hoard do you treasure the most? I imagine to a lot of us it is photos and videos of our families, which I’d love to hear about, but also interested in rare bits of media or information that makes your collection unique.

    Early computer aided art and programs I’ve written, dating back decades.

    In the mid 1990s I used ImpulseTracker to create music. The music sucks. But losing the original source .IT files would be heartbreaking.

    Likewise, my first programs, written as a child in MS DOS batch files circa 1991 – basic menu driven interfaces that facilitated launching my installed sharware… I don’t have the games the program points to anymore, but that isn’t the point ;)

      That’s so cool that you’ve held onto that stuff through the ages

      I wonder how my old 5.25" floppies are doing, my project to back them up goes for 20 years now and I backed up none because I’m too lazy

        I also can’t prevent myself from being lazy. I haven’t written anything in my diary for 1 year. I read it yesterday and It’s a treasure. I regret I haven’t wrote anything in it for 1 year :(
