I don't have anything special. Just music, photos, videos, files created with OpenOffice, emails in Thunderbird, and a few Java programs.

I do have a set of calendars that I'm fond of that were made in PrintMaster, a program I update from time to time for that single purpose. I'll have to see if that comes in a Linux version, or if there's something for Linux that will read the files.

I really hate Windows 10.
