I still have my old Osborne I (80-col. mod, SS/DD) and I was wondering if
I should make some sort of effort to make sure that my cp/m disk collection
stays, er, potent.  Do floppies get senile after a while?  About a year
ago I checked some of the masters, and they seem to be okay.  Of course,
you could say that if I was prudent, I would back them up every couple
years or so.  I bought it < a year before Osborne went away the first time.

And no, I don't actively use it at this time.
