Ah... but you only needed 1 Meg to run the entire computer, not 4 Gig like today.
Probably helped that the applications were only a few Kilobytes too.

I remember having a commodore 64 that was connected to my tape player as a device to save to.

20 years ago I moved from C64 to an ibm clone and paid about $1400 for the computer and an EXTRA $1000 per MEG of memory...

Tiger Direct has a sweet deal on 8 GIGAbyte thumb drives - $20!
Yeesh! Twenty years ago, we thought 20 MEG was huge! |

You could get a cheap $10 thumb drive and backup the seqence files at least.
It's really just the time involved, not that it's irreplacable.

I guess it's a good thing you don't live 2 miles north of me then, otherwise you'd have needed that fireproof safe! (I live very near the "freeway complex" fire that just happened in California). There is still a lot of ash and smoke in the air, and the bare hills are about to get rained on. Should be fun.
