People expect to open their laptop expect to be rich overnight. People want to retire immediately stay at home all the time.

That's not quite true 100% ! But what you are trying to say and that part is true, people want to be rich without lifting a finger and want easy..........which is why the online snake oil industry is booming There are 2 top converting niches online.........money / opportunity seekers and porn Of course only 1 such would be used on PTC People are more likely to click and be receptive to your ad than advertising something else on a PTC. If the majority of people understood the concept of work and efforts, there would be no such need for seeking such opportunities with empty promises. Who are the real people making money online, those who market this bloody rubbish, they are the ones making the big $$$ - In the end it's always going to be making money over others -

If you were to advertise Ramen noodles on a PTC vs. advertising a bux ponzi scheme with good bots AVG, guess which ad would bring you the most signups, it's a no brainer here

The part where you are incorrect is that being rich will solve your life problems, this is far from true !
Rich people have their problems, and some far worse. MONEY only solves PART of your life problems......FINANCIAL. You can have all the money you want in life but it won't magically ERASE certain problems. It won't erase physical health issues, mental health, other personal problems that money cannot address. whatever you "buy" yourself into happiness is temporary. There are things i life more important than money - and if you don't have a balance of both you will be rich and very sad, mate !

and those who are rich and ruin their lives, is their doing. So it's all about YOU.

That said, sure, for those who know how to manage money and are not prone to going crazy and doing crazy stuff, might benefit from said money, but it doesn't take long to figure out that money is not everything.

I wouldn't mind a million $ though, I'd know how to manage it, but life is about problems and headaches and rubbish money only takes care of part of it, not all

Cheers

I can recall placing hundreds of my photos on floppy's because I thought it was a cool and
safe way to save them for the future. No one even has a floppy disc any more!

I got rid of my floppy drives during my last PC upgrade. But before doing so I went through my entire
3.5' floppy collection and they were all 100% readable. Even went through old VHS tapes, 8mm, etc,
all intact (they were properly handled and stored) but goes to show you that a quality tape / disk will likely outlast any of DVD media ! Even the so called premium brand DVDs don't last as long as the industry claims !!!

Also thumb drives should never be relied on for permanent archiving - they rely on their own controller and electronics, if it fails, goodbye to your data (unless you have the electronic expertise to change controller or recover data, and that can be quite expensive!).

Now I use top brand BluRay (BD-R) and archivable grade DVD and keep backups (for pictures, etc.......)
Whatever is on old floppy got transfered, and whatever on VHS got transferred though I would never
throw these away, (the precious stuff) !

Most people buy cheap sh** media and are surprised when months to years later their DVD is not readable.

So depending on your age, if you buy a quality brand media (more expensive) it will likely last you the remainder of your life cycle and those of your kids

Only relying on thumb drive for storing stuff is not a good idea. Same for hard drives or any organic type of optical storage media.

I'd like to have money, so I could have people beg me to give them some, and reject them one by one.

But, I don't need real money to do that. If I vehemently deny I'm a millionaire, everyone will assume I am a millionaire, and they'll start begging. Since I was going to reject them anyway, it'll still work out just fine.

Can still buy usb floppy drive & floppy disk dirt cheap on Amazon. I bougt disk about year ago as they easier use than record-able cd-rw. I trust them over usb thumb drives too.

LOL

A whopping 1.44 MB ffloppy, and you had to wait and sit there until those formatted (full format).

and now we are talking about 200 MB/s transfer speeds and 500MB/s SSD

Cant see I would go back to floppy, you should let go of floppy - on any modern PC you can use a key, floppies are really useless now.

Anybody else here ever used QIC tape storage and 4mm DAT backup drives ? (Those tapes could store 16GB)

I don't try and safe keep data or images on computers any more.

Had a house fire some years ago which destroyed most of what I had.
I then came to the realization it was something like being a hoarder.
Hoarding data, images, and loads of stuff that I would never do much
if anything, with.

Also, most people really don't care about your photos. Kind of like in
the adverts where friends come over and are forced to watch little
susie's second grade graduation.

I do take a lot of photos but I also delete a lot of photos. I'll pick out
a good one and print it out, in a frame or photo album it goes.
