I still have my Hades 060, and it's up and running.

Rarely if ever use it, but about 3 months ago, a Mac user I know gave me 
6 Windows floppies to get photos from.  Every Windows computer she tried 
couldn't read them, but my Vista computer would read 3 of them.

I have some graphic program installed, and darned if that program didn't 
read the damaged files.  It was able to pull the image data, but the 
metadata was lost.  She was a happy camper, as I burned all the images 
to a CD for her.

I wish I had the time to use it more, I still miss using it.  I've got 
an HP/Compaq 9500 CRT attached for a monitor.

I wish someone had developed an interface for the Hades that let you 
connect the SLM804 laser, as I still have mine.

I suspect too many people don't even know what the Usenet is, anymore.  :-(
