   I still have my Hades 060, and it's up and running.   
      
   Rarely if ever use it, but about 3 months ago, a Mac user I know gave me   
   6 Windows floppies to get photos from.  Every Windows computer she tried   
   couldn't read them, but my Vista computer would read 3 of them.   
      
   I have some graphic program installed, and darned if that program didn't   
   read the damaged files.  It was able to pull the image data, but the   
   metadata was lost.  She was a happy camper, as I burned all the images   
   to a CD for her.   
      
   I wish I had the time to use it more, I still miss using it.  I've got   
   an HP/Compaq 9500 CRT attached for a monitor.   
      
   I wish someone had developed an interface for the Hades that let you   
   connect the SLM804 laser, as I still have mine.   
      
   I suspect too many people don't even know what the Usenet is, anymore.  :-(
