Are you a digital packrat?

I found in the download folder on the server files for Windows 95/3.11 for Diamond Stealth Video VLB! Just about every version of nV stuff back to pre TNT days, S3 Virge, Number 9, etc. Quicktime 2.x! That is kind of ridiculous to keep all that old stuff.

How many of you peeps here have old files you don't delete?
 
I got way too much junk archived. The funny part is that 99% of it I could find and download within minutes. I guess you can't be a packrat if you don't keep packing, lol
 
a hardware packrat.. yes, its to the point of being seriously unhealthy. my old data.. yes. i have files from like 4th grade still laying around backed up on another drive
 
Actually, sometimes those files are useful. I'd love to get my hands on the complete catalog of Gravis sets for emulation purposes. That being said I have most every file like that from the last decade and it only takes 20GB. So there is little point in not keeping it for me at least.
 
yep. I have just about every file I've downloaded since around 97 or so. guess that's why all 4 of my hard drives are full. I also have lots of old hardware too.
 
I have a cdrom I used to backup almost every Prodigy/Aol hacker prog back when I wanted to be the coolest hacker EVAR..

I sometimes feel nostalgia for those days.. it seemed like any script kiddie idiot could phish his way into a new computer... and that new computer could be used to scroll the latest and greatest middle fingers in all the aol chat rooms..

😀

BTW, anyone have a copy of Cybermage: Darklight Awakening? That was the coolest game ever and I've been wanting to play it.

Gravis sets, where have i heard of this before...?
 
I like to back up any software downloads. Sometimes newer versions don't work as well and sometimes what was freeware has newer versions that become payware.
