That’s what I do. All of our old home movies of our daughters as kids (which have been converted into MPGs) are stored - among other places - in our safe deposit box on about ten DVDs.
What, you’ve got something more precious to store than that?
As a guy who likes taking them apart for their magnets, I agree to a point. However, they both have very close tolerances, and that’s where I was going with my reasoning—I didn’t say they were as mechanically complex; just that they were as delicate, and sensitive to lubrication issues.
Not really. The bearings are sealed. I’ve got a couple dead ones cracked open here if you want to see.

No… I was just asking because in addition to being your favorite demented senile guy, I also write a lot… a LOT… and I just thought about one day, if I needed to, could I just buy a new computer and store the old one?
But thanks for the laugh… I’ll tell Mae West you asked about her, as I dream of her tonight!!! :D:D:D
And PLEASE don’t take offense, okay? I didn’t…I’m way past that now…

Quasi, I didn’t even notice who had started the thread, it was just an old joke about how everyone uses their computer primarily for porn.
You don’t have one of those pens with a picture of a lady who undresses when you turn it upside down? Those are so hot! I want to release an hour and a half DVD of someone turning one of those pens over and over. I’ll make millions.
