typed in alt.windows7.general the following:
| So, nothing to sort through, nothing to look at, just all the
| pictures, books and music on a computer drive, and the heirs can just
| junk it all in one fell swoop, because the computer is obsolete and
| running an antique version of Windows. Never mind if they might have
| grabbed some of the books, photos and albums if they had been held
| physically in their hands.

And you'll want to at least convert them to
formats that are not commercial.
One thing about hardcopy: The technology to access it hasn't
changed in a bazillion years.
