Random Question Time

[darth_timon]

Greetings all.

I'm doing a little project (a way of boosting flow to my site and also to increase my interaction with followers), by the way of a question and answer session. If anyone is interested, ask me stuff here and I'll post the answer on my site (as well as here). I may even make videos, if I am brave enough.

Is it possible for data stored on the old floppy disks to be obtained and transferred onto a memory stick in the same way that video content can be transferred onto a CD/DVD?

Sure, you can probably pick up USB floppy drives fairly cheaply (the 3.5" ones anyway). The biggest problem would be whether the old disks have degraded, given that they're magnetic they don't last that long..... especially if they haven't been stored correctly.
