Default OT; old CDs and DVDs

I've been sorting out a box of old discs from twenty years ago, Windows

bedroom, unheated in winter. Ten of them I kept, and I've been examining
these on this Win7 computer.
Everything I've tried is readable, utterly readable and executable; and
that includes CD-Rs and DVD-Rs burnt elsewhere.

I take old discs that I no longer want, drill a very small hole near the
edge, and hang them with kite twine from the branches of my fruit trees
just before the fruit is ripe. As the discs turn and flash in the
sunlight, they tend to keep birds away from my fruit.

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

That should be Donald Trump's theme song. He obviously
does not understand "commitment", whether it is about
policy or marriage.
