How to access your old 3.5-inch floppy disks |

Reader Kristie wrote in with this puzzler:
"I just found a shoebox full of 3.5-inch disks. I think they were from my old digital camera, but I have no way of finding out because I no longer have a computer (or camera) that can read them. What can I do?"
Talk about a trip down memory lane! I haven't so much as laid eyes on a 3.5-inch "floppy" in years, and I'd forgotten that a few early digital cameras did indeed storage images on that kind of media.
Needless to say, however, modern PCs don't have floppy drives. (Same goes for not-so-modern ones.) So how can you hope to extract your photos, WordPerfect documents, and any other old data that might be lingering on those disks?
