A 100% free Online Dating service for Tennessee singles

An old client of my business, The WordSmith Shop, has asked if I can re-generate copies of some short stories. My old system (the one these files were saved on) used WordPerfect and 3.5 inch disks. I no longer have the CPU, although I did save these files to 3.5-inch disks before getting rid of it.

There are a couple other "particulars" I have encountered in trying to get these files updated, but I'll not go into detail until I see whether anyone has a clue where to start.

If you can help me out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

Hi Jackson.. I'm a bit stupid.. so I may have misunderstood.. haha

Do you mean you now longer have a PC with a floppy drive?

coz IF you meant that.. you can buy floppy disc readers (like card readers).. They not very expensive.
if you didn't mean that.. I'll shut up

Yes, but I do not have WordPerfect software on this system. (And, thanks for a genuine response!)

at least I genuinely bumped the thread


yet again!

True, Uli. So, thanks for that. I didn't think of it that way, and since I REALLY, REALLY need to know, I was afraid your original response would lead CS'ers to not take the question seriously.

Sorry!

Not doubting my fellow genders abilities...
and Claayer has maybe solved the problem
with the logical mind of a woman, or is at as we speak...

However, if you have IT problems/questions
wait for the blokes to arrive
and then give the thread a catchy name...
alluringly so...

"rare motorcycle spare parts to give away"

"NASCAR up the inny & in the outy"

or better still

"I lost my thong"

and for many hits:

"DD-cup and nowhere to go!"

Ah, now I get the connection! The Kansan!

I remember way back seeing you two returning I think.

You had been away a while. Must have been mid last year, when
I read of your "homecoming"

And one more thing...
with alluring thread titles
you may ignite his fire
when he least expects it.

We gotta keep'em guessing

Ermmm.. no.. mother nature forget to give me that part.

Clever Claayer tactic ... keep it under wraps!

Actually, instead of a "homecoming" it was our wedding ! Last August 15! We met here on CS on 1/3/06, met in person 3 weeks later, and began sharing a household a year ago March! With that kind of "magic" going for us, really no need to "ignite his fire."

OK, You have a hardware problem and a software problem.

For the hardware problem namely no computer with a 3.5" and CD drive I suggest you either find someone with a pc with both drives and copy everything onto CD(s) 1 CD will probably hold at least 5 floppies. Or go to a computer dealer to get the files transfered onto CD's.

Next I'm sure word can read a wordperfect file. Just save it as a .doc file.
