Hey, in the right time and place, you'll be able to name your price! ;') I found an unopened 25 pack the other day, and have no idea where and when I got 'em. At work the other day I pushed some other stuff supply in the locked supply lateral, and voilá, there was a couple of sealed 25 packs. The CPUs we've had on the floor for, hmm, about seven years now don't have floppy drives.

I think you answered your own question. :-)

If I am not mistaken, I am now the last known American who still has a record player.

A lump of coal and the back of a shovel work for me.

The iMac killed the floppy in 1998.
