Nice!  I had an Atari 800XL for a short while in the early 90s...  Though I
havn't booted any of my classic computers in years, I have several friends
who still store all their movies, music, comics, or 
whatever on an older Commodore, Amiga, TRS-80, or whatever they used when
they started the collection, and heck if it still works, why change?

Too groovy!
