Seagate Archive 2

I will be posting a few old photos from the OLD Seagate. This one is from Manatee Historical Village.

It pleased me when I took the photo many years ago and still pleases me.

I also pleased myself by playing with it in PicMonkey.

 

Seagate Archive 1

 

Photos from my ancient Seagate drive.

Having lived well past 3/4 of a century, I like to visit the Historical Village and look at all the things from my youth. Above was taken in the Village Court House.

I love it, but would not want to go to court in that time period.

I would not want to heat with this old stove. We had a coal burning stove in my youth, similar to this and the general store had one exactly like this.

Next to the stove in the store was a pin ball machine that my dad threatened my life if I put a nickel in it.

While listening to the old men gathered around the stove in the store tell tall tales, I may have played it once or twice.

do you think I did put a nickel in it???

Did he catch me? 

He said it was of the devil! 

I think the devil made me do it. Or maybe it was the fact Daddy said Don't Do That

I certainly would not want to cook on it.

Nor Iron with this vintage steam iron. Looking closely, it appears the handle caught on fire.

Seagate External Drive

 

In 2006 I purchased this 268 Gig hard drive because I had hundreds of CD's jammed with photographs taken between 2002 - 2006. 

All taken with Easy Share Kodak cameras. Small point and shoot.

I put everything from the CD on this drive and in 2011 it crashed.

 I bought two externals, 500 gig each and started loading all photo from 2006 until current date on each of them, same thing on both for just in case.

I stood staring at the drawer that contains the CD's. 

I am never going to use them, the cd photos are on the above Seagate.

The best of them are on these 3 other drives.

THOUGH just popped in my head.

The Seagate at the top is only 1/4 of the storage of one of the black Seagate boxes and the tiny pink flash drive is 2 T of space. Oy Vey! what next for me to fill with nonsense

I asked myself WHY I can't toss them in the trash?

The best are on my three blogs.

CD's are deadly slow.

10 minutes to move the Pelican folder to my desktop and then delete because bad photos.

Desktop/laptop has no CD drawer, the external player is even slower than the CD

SOOOO WHY can't I toss the CD's?

Bob, Mr. sensible, stated "you don't want them, don't need them, no one else will ever look at, or want them, so throw them out.

What would you do?
