[HatchedDesignForum] Re: New size CD

Hi Gail!

I copied the designs I had on floppies over to CDs so I could transport them
to the newer computer I had gotten (Vista laptop with no floppy drive).
Over time, with the price of USB sticks coming down as they've become more
popular, I can't remember the last time I used a floppy disk. Now I have a
Windows 7 laptop (which I absolutely love!), so I just transport files on
USB sticks from one computer to another. Like you, even though I rarely use
it any more, I can't seem to part with my XP desktop. I tell myself that
it's because it's hooked up to my laser printer, which is a thousand times
more cost effective when I need to do a lot of printing, but being honest
with myself, since I've never tried hooking up either of my laptops, I don't
know that I couldn't get one (or both) of them to work with my laser
printer. Really, it's more about convenience since my desktop is hardwired
to 3 of my printers all the time, whereas I have to go to the trouble of
arranging a space to set up a laptop and hook up the cable to the printer I
need (which consistently ends up being the one that is most expensive to use
because it's the easiest to hook up.lol). I guess my point is, I think it is
easier to make the transition by choice, rather than wait until there's a
hardware failure or manufacturer obsolescence because you've got the former
system as a backup plan as you transition through the changes. J

Hth,

Cindy, who is a computer junky and still can bring herself to part with her
old Windows 98 workstation and desktop from her kids growing up, and only
parted with her Windows 95 computer because her DH gave it to their son for
college. ;-)

[HatchedDesignForum] Re: floppies - Gail

Gail,
Word of caution: As far as floppies go, it's a good idea not to have all your designs in one type of media. They do not last forever. Ask me how I know!?!

They're not really big enough for good coasters either. LOL! So as ours go bad they're not even recyclable and we make sure they're destroyed before discarding as some of our older ones have other data on them.

[HatchedDesignForum] Re: New CD's and Floppies

Geri I hate to get rid of this computer - it still accepts floppies and I
have thousands of designs on floppies :(
hugs Gail in Arizona

-----------------------------------

While you can still get them, I would suggest you go and buy a couple of external floppy drives. They are only $20-$30 apiece, and if you can't get all your designs transferred to CD's, you are eventually going to need the external drives.

I have an Apple computer (Imac) and it will not take the small CD's either. I have to convert them to a larger CD with my old PC to use them on the Apple. I wish they would stop changing things.

Re: [HatchedDesignForum] New size CD

Gail
If you get a new computer you can purchase an external Floppy Drive so you can still use your floppies. I have a Brother machine that uses either floppies or an embroidery card. I usually use the floppies because I use my Artista Software. Last year I purchased a Mac computer so had to get an external floppy drive and just love it works without a problem.

RE: [HatchedDesignForum] New size CD

The floppy drive is no problem on a new computer. When I upgraded to Vista
I just got an external harddrive. It costs about $80. As amatter of fct I
would be willing to sell you mine for $40. It is still in great condition.

And is very easy to use/. You just plug it into a USB port.

Where else do you have those designs? It really is not good enough to just
have them on floppies. The floppies lose info and sometimes just don't
work. I purchased to an external harddrive to back up my computer to.also

I would really encourage you to get one.

Re: [HatchedDesignForum] reply to washing silk flowers

Just the other day I put all my dusty silk flowers into mesh bags from the $ store and ran them thru the light cycle in the dishwasher, no soap, then hung the bags outside to air dry. Worked great..everything dust free!
