[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7724825, member: 2525"] Just about all of it? I have 3.5 drives on all my computers still. They're really cheap, and the slot is tiny. I also move stuff from 3.5 to sticks sometimes. If you actually have a need for an old program, it's not that hard. Hahahaha that's cute that you think the iphone invented apps! Again, I have apps from my palm treo from 2002. Palm devices had apps going back much further than that (Pam Pilot was 1996 for example). The Psion Organiser was invented in the mid-1980s, though I never used one.
