THE ANNUAL BIG ARSENIC FISHING CONTEST (S), August 2015
File — Box: 186, Folder: 2
Scope and Contents
Jarsenic.12e. Transcoded version. I work on ancient program on my old Compaq 98 computer, with Windows 98, Word Perfect 6.0. Save everything on a 3.5 floppy disk. Nobody can read that disk. So I take it to Electric Sheep, and they transcode it into Microsoft Word, put it on CD or Flashdrive, which I take to Copy Queen in Taos, and they print out a new, double-space manuscript like this. I also download the Electric Sheep transcode onto a "new" computer I bought 6 years ago but never use because it's Windows 7 or Microsoft 7, and is horribly designed and unintelligible to me! I pray my old Compaq 98 never crashes, and that I can always find 3.5 floppies on Amazon . . . which is getting more difficult!
