Where are they?

[Blue Velvet]

Well? What did you do with them? Where did you store them?

This is not a drill, soldier!​

Like Doctor Q ordering you to take a backup right now, I'm talking about these:

​

Grey install discs that come with your Mac. They're important. Don't just stash them with your unwanted and scratched Spice Girls and Hanson CDs. Put them in jewel cases, keep them with the Mac box or put them with your precious bought and paid-for CDs and DVDs.

You'll need them at some point, whether for trouble-shooting your Mac, or trying to sell it in the future. So where are they?!

Ha! Ha!

Good advice as always!

Not sure how people always seem to lose their stuff™

Woof, Woof - Dawg

 

[PlaceofDis]

stored safely with all my other computer related discs in my closet. 🙂

 

[Blue Velvet]

Ha! Ha!

So where are yours, Dawg. Hmmm? I notice you didn't answer the question. 😉

Good enough? 😉

[Blue Velvet]

^ Hmmm. You just avoided dropping and giving us fifty. At ease! 😀

I keep all my discs inside the box they came in. They do come in handy.

 

[taylorwilsdon]

I leave 'em in the box and stash it in my box closet.

edit - when I'm not busy circumventing EULAs and installing OSX on PC's!

 

[Koodauw]

Same as above. In the box in my closet. Only had to use one once in 7 yrs.

In August of 2007, I wanted to do a system restore for my MBP, and reached for my discs. I ended up reaching for the two Disc 2s provided, quickly noticing that there was no Disc 1.

 

[RITZFit]

I used them suckers as frisbees!! naa, I'm a pack rat so they're prob still in the apple box...i'm to lazy to throw stuff away 🙁

 

[MacGeek7]

In the gray box they came in which is located in my middle desk drawer.

 

[heehee]

they are in my drawer with the other softwares. 🙂

 

[SFStateStudent]

In the boxes, and those boxes are piling up; I need another room just for my boxes...😱

 

[doubleohseven]

Mine are in the original box my MacBook came in, along with the original instruction booklet and everything else that came with it. The box is in my wardrobe.

OS 10.4 discs are in my MacBook box in my closet on the top right-hand shelf. My OS 10.5 discs are on my bookcase on the third shelf down from the top in the right-hand side corner.😀😎

I'm still waiting for Miss Velvet to ask a young gentleman to stand to attention... 😉

 

[EricNau]

System Disks are in filing cabinet; Leopard disk on bookshelf.

 

[bbbensen]

Book cabinet in parents computer room, right of the iMac.


When I had to do a clean install of my iBook, it took me a week to find those damn things.....

 

[drichards]

My 10.4 discs are in the closet, in the big MBP box on the top shelf that's hard to reach. My 10.5 disc is at an ex-girlfriend's apartment, and imaged onto "volumes/my book/.backups/" and "~/.backups" for good measure.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

So where are they?!

Safely stored in a draw with my other software disks, ma'am!

 

[Cromulent]

Blimey, I think they are in my filing system somewhere. Unfortunately my filing system only contains the letter M for Miscellaneous which makes it rather pointless 🙂.

 

[0098386]

Hah, good idea BV.

I've been doing some heavy tidying and found my PowerBook restore disc thingies. iMac ones are up on the shelf. All's good in this house!

 

[Loge]

I still have them for my old Powerbook, but since then I've upgraded OS X, and iLife, so is there anything they would be useful for apart from troubleshooter maybe?

 

[rdowns]

All my important discs are kept in one of these.

I'm still waiting for Miss Velvet to ask a young gentleman to stand to attention... 😉

All the boys snap to attention when BV speaks. 🙂
