I found an old floppy disk with my global war license key and Qedit
licensed for DOS a few years back. I borrowed a USB floppy and copied
everything over to my hard disk. There were some tense moments as I
heard a grinding re-seeking noise, but somehow managed to get all the
files off - just in time, apparently.

I had more CDs go bad than floppies, but I wasn't exactly buying top
quality CD blanks...   :(
