Last week my father (an accountant) handed me some 5.25" discs and wanted me to recover the files for him. Even if I found a computer with that type of floppy drive I still needed a MS-DOS operating system and a program that could convert Wordstar docs and Multiplan spreadsheets. These kinds of problems are only going to get worse over the next few decades.

Luckily I copied all of his 5.25" files onto a hard disk twenty years ago and kept transferring that folder onto each new computer he bought, so all I really needed was a program to convert the old files into MS-Word and MS-Excel.
