I have a Pentium 200mmx on which I installed more than 20 local 
encyclopedias, a couple of thousand books and hundreds of information sites 
with "doubtful" information are stored there. I use two IDE hard drives, 20 
and 40 gigabytes. This computer i called the doomsday computer. I checked 
the hard drives through S.M.A.R.T for reliability. All of them are in the 
green sector. I also have hundreds of movie DVDs, original CD-Rom discs with 
encyclopedia installations and programs for old computers. Because after the 
"end" only they will be able to work. They don't need internet.
