My mother’s writings, in WordStar 4.0. Took some research to open and read them decently today.
Astonishing enough some old fart in love with WordStar not only created all the necessary conversion tools but even packaged WordStar 7 (the last existing release) so that it can be used today.
Edit: to put this in context, WordStar 4 used to run on an IBM compatible 8086 4.7Mhz PC, with wopping 640kb ram and 5.25 floppy disks. We already had an hard drive, some 16mb (iirc) beast that took two full 5.25 bay slots and was driven via MF/RL analog signals or something similar




I follow the good 9pd 3 2 2 rule. Three backups, in two locations, one is remote.
First copy on an external hard drive that gets mounted only for that, then unmounted.
Second copy still at home, on a disk connected to an OpenWRT access point in the patio.
Third copy on my VPS, so remote.
Each night restic take care of all that.
