Resurrecting Old Technology

I was able to get my Iomega Zip 100 zip drive to work!

I followed this guide:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IomegaZIPDrive

And when I rebooted my computer I had access to the files on my zip drive!

The next step was installing WINE — a Windows emulator. So I could run Eudora.

I could have done it in XP. But I didn’t want to go through the hassle of installing XP and all the service packs. Fortunately I got it to work in Lubuntu on an old Dell computer with a Pentium IV processor!

So now I can access email I had stored in Eudora.

The emails document my spiritual journey. I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. Then I went through a “Gnostic” phase — while questioning my beliefs. So now I am sorting through my emails. I will be posting shortly.
