you said:
If they were the same quality cameras they use in say convenience stores....
and if they aren't?
You have made a very broad assumption here with absolutely no information to back it up.
What does the OS (WIN 95) have to do with this? The format was chosen by the developer. There is nothing in the OS that says a file has to be stored in some non documented format. This program could have been on a any *nix box and still have a proprietary format to the files.
Just what obscure format does the OS use when storing files?
I know the Office suite has it's own format for file but I also know that I can export that data from the spreadsheet, the word processor and the database, into non proprietary formats. I also know that their proprietary formats aren't that obscure else no one would be able to write all the reader programs we see for these formats.
I worked out a 1 mile route across three floors. Essentialy doing two laps per floor thru the cube farm. By not doing the same floor twice in a row I doubled the stair walking. Just carry a note pad with you and no one even sees you, much less stare.
One mile walk should take between 15 and twenty minutes at a solid pace. A good break from the keyboard

Perhaps the reason no one questioned you is because they got a memo the week before detailing what was going to happen.

I stand corrected
If that is the case then I don't understand why the call for copies of the files. Should they not just pull them from their backup?
No. The real $64,000 question is why didn't they have reliable backups and a disaster recovery plan
That is not the fault nor the responsibility of the OS. That lies with the developer. They are the ones that locked you in not the OS.
