This makes me sad on a regular base. The C64 was my first computer when I was like 16ish. I spend nights and weeks learning programming with Basic and did some really cool things like a text editor (of course besides playing games like Gianna Sisters or North and South).
But I was young and didn't see how important that was for my development. So I never took care of archiving or even backups, ultimatily I just got rid of the discs while moving or cleaning up. I don't even remember. No this old "Brotkasten" is catching dust in the drawer.
Nowadays I really miss my early work and take a lot more care when it comes to backups and archiving my work.
//EDIT
No wait, my first computer was some kind of weird robotron my father brought home some day. This thing really fascinated me, I wasn't able to do much on it, because there was no documentation and of course I had no internet. But I really loved the green letters on the black screen.
