hasn't found anyone else with saved transcripts. Surely I can't be the only one.


I think you're unique in the length of time you've managed to preserve such data. I also used to save session data for reference, but over time such floppies disks were eventually reused or discarded.

I do have one "museum piece". I have a complete backup of the Amiga BBS I ran roughly from ~1993-1996 as it sat at the time I took it off line. Old threads, file archives, fidonet (I think), menus of color ansi art, users... all there in a capsule. Maybe not terribly impressive because with the internet coming on at the time, traffic and content had slowed considerably. I restored the data and fired it up 2 years ago to see if it still worked... yup.
