If you wrote a book in 1983, had the second edition in 85, then they
discontinued the 8-bit ataris. Now it's 1995, you're moving, and you've
got this box with an old atari and a bunch of disks. You look at the
Pentium PC on your desk, reminisce for a few moments, laugh, and toss it on
the trash pile. With your original manuscript disks.
