Developer in a large company on AIX and SAP. I use both OpenBSD, NetBSD and Slackware as test systems for my work on AIX (plus for my own personal use)
No, to write to a CD, you need to use specialized software, not just a simple copy.
Plus what about copying to replaced a files already on the CD ? I believe you need to clear it first then rewrite everything back. CD are about as inconvenient as a media can get.
Nothing except for the limited size. I believe even today, nothing exists today for temp storage that have the convenience of diskettes.
USB Flash Drives comes close, but cheaper versions can in rare cases have firmware “virises”. On a diskette, just do a format and all issues gone. Also I never even thought twice about mailing a file on a diskette expecting to never see that diskette again. Flash Drives, I still would like to get it back after mailing it out :)
I remember working in a warehouse that stored many ICs when I was very young. IIRC, Zilog packaging was quite good. Some other brands packages would crack or open up if nor handled with “kid gloves”. This brings back memories,
One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.
Too bad it went the way it did :(
I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.
Enjoy,
I decided to move to gemini on SDF. Data is far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.

The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.
But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.
I really did not like how Kes (Jennifer Lien) was written out so they could have a Borg Character. Nothing against Jeri Ryan, but the idea of Kes type Alien was intriguing. Then when they brought her back as a god like character even made the concept for Kes worse.
The biggest impact would be to max out the memory. That will not help with browsers like Firefox, but will help with other items.
Plus there is a whole world out there that many people ignore or do not know about, USENET and IRC. Accessing those will work with just about any Thinkpad, no matter how old. Plus there is toot for Mastodon (I need to get that working), but not sure if there is a text utility to access lemmy
I have a Thinkpad which is a bit newer then yours (R51e) with OpenBSD on it. I get by quite well with dillo, links (need to try links2), mutt, tin (USENET) and irssi (IRC). All I did is maxed out memory to 2G. But, I never do banking on the Internet. All I do is need to do is get my pdf bank statement once a month which I use a newer Thinkpad for.
