Old CompactFlash Card Still Has Pics On It

I’ve been cleaning out my garage to set-up a hobby area and we found an old CompactFlash card from 2003 in a box. I didn’t have anything available to read it, plus I wasn’t expecting any actual data on it after sitting dormant for 20 years, but after getting a dongle and plugging in the card, pictures that were taken on a Kodak DC240 popped right up.

 All of the pictures look like they were taken by my son, with an eclectic mix of Christmas and Halloween pictures, as well as a lot of photos of our cats at the time. It was an unexpected slice of life from 2003.
