What to do with my cd/cdr collection?
I'm online for somewhat more than 6 years IIRC, owned a cd burner almost as long, and this is the result: I have:
- A collection of 25-50 unsorted CDR, most not even labeled that contain random backups from my harddrive. Many of the files exist on several disks.
A lot of those files are absolutely not worth saving, but others are.
- A collection of 50-75 Pc-Mag demo discs, the oldest somewhere around 96
- A collection of 50-75 Pc-Mag full version games
- A collection of Movies CDR, most zipped into two pieces as my burner did not support 700mb until i discovered the power of firmware updates :clap:
- A brand new multiformat, highspeed dvdburner, that burns a dvd/R in 1/4 the time my other burner needs to burn a cd/R
- The will to start sorting things out, and the freetime to do so
So what I need is input. Should I keep old Demo disks for the odd day I might want to test some old stuff. Should I reburn the Movies or just throw them away? To be honest I never watched one of those twice. I also could use a programm to help me sort through those backup disks, helping me filtering dupes out, advanced file searching etc
I also need fast and easy way to destroy a cd with no risk of hurting myself, the method should be safe enough that i can throw the cds to waste without having to fear "joe averange waste guy" reads my data.
Break into halfes with gloves on?
so input welcome
