<<Black coffee and a Steven King novel are my customary prep me for nap time.>> I can relate though coffee isn't one of my vices. I recall when I first arrived here in Paris that I figured the best way to learn the language was to get through a few good French novels. So after buying one of the more recent popular French novels I got about 1/8 the way through before I gave up. It was too boring, so I instead bought a copy of a Stephen King novel that had been translated into French. That way at least I could be sure the story would be interesting 🙂 <<I'm curious to see what storage device you'll decide to buy.>> That makes two of us! <<You can count on whatever you buy today to be obsolete (or half price) tomorrow.>> Yeh, I was just reading about the new Sony MD Data technology. It seems interesting but still in it's infancy. "The future replacement for 3 1/2" disks" was what was written in the article. Humm, another choice to add to the pile already available. <<Meanwhile, you can always buy a good wheelbarrow to carry all those pkzipped floppies from place to place.>> Have you ever tried to get a wheelbarrow through the turnstile at the Metro(subway)? I prefer to use a pack horse or mule when transporting my floppy diskettes though they can make a mess in the train. <<I'm sure you won't need to hire anyone to train you to use it.>> Yeh, maybe, but I'll need physiotherapy after the RSI caused by inserting and removing the hundreds of diskettes.
