Good to hear that you mostly managed to get out of the wheelchair. If you manage to keep moving, you will probably find that easier to maintain. I also keep thinking I need to look into getting a new coat. I have had this one for probably about 20 years and it is getting a little tattered (even the zipper grip broke a few years ago so I replaced it with a key ring). Hopefully you can find something good.

When it comes to DVDs, my first recommendation is "keep them". We are transitioning into a world of digital feudalism so owning physical media is a valuable novelty which should be cherished (it is something nobody can take from you). That said, if you want digital access to that content (minimally as a back-up in case something happens to the media), then "HandBrake" is a tool which works very well for this (I actually managed to salvage content from a damaged DVD, years ago, using it).

While I do have an external DVD reader which I can connect to my main machines (these are pretty cheap), I am actually thinking of picking up a full-blown Blu-ray player, at some point, which I could just hook up to my monitor to play physical media.
