Floppies?

SamIam · 07-09-2012, 06:00 PM

Yesterday I was cleaning out some boxes that I had stored forever and I discovered about 20 floppy disks (the 3x5's) tucked away and forgotten until now. I would have just thrown them out, but when I looked at the labels they contained pictures that I would love to have as well as a number of essays I wrote about a million years ago and wouldn't mind revisiting.

So is there any way of getting the info off those floppies short of raiding Grandma's attic and making off with her old computer that still has slots for floppies? Or are those disks just doomed to go to the landfill west of town without me ever to look at their content?
