Damn You, Bitrot

Y'know, I put my files onto CD-ROM 'cause ZIP drives got click death.

Now, all of my old CD-ROMs can't find any data.

I hate computers.

PS: Thank goodness for ISObuster. But it does grate to have to pay $25 to some third party just to keep my own data.

You know, while I have experienced click death with school computers, my 14 year old external parallel Zip Drive has never failed on me once. And I've taken it apart twice.

I don't think that there really is any form of storage out there that is free of bitrot or whatnot.
