All those computer disks

I don't know why it took me so long to implement this idea. Over the years I cannot even begin to count the number of computers that have come and gone in our household. Some came with associated media and due to the sheer volume of these disks being reincarnated as coasters, obviously many did not leave.

I found a great deal on these inexpensive fabric cd cases at our local dollarstore. I bought one for each machine and clearly labelled on the outside the make and model # it is associated with. Inside I keep all boot disks, software cd's, printer disks, anti-virus upgrades etc. Anything associated with the running of our computer goes inside this case where it is neatly zipped up. Should the inevitable happen and the thing conks out I can easily grab the case and have all required media handy while on hold for support.

No more frantically searching the house for that printer cd or software serial number.

Re: All those computer disks

I do the same thing. It is so much easier to find a cd when you need it.

Another thing you could do is if any of the discs require passwords or serial codes you could write them on the disc or the sleeve.
You have a great idea, I need to get my (disc)organization organized!

My hubby did this a while back, and it really does save a lot of "searching" time.

Great idea...I have received some little cd cases at trade shows for free and never knew what to do with them...Wonder if I can find one now? ;)
