Not sure, DNJ, but the sale may end Friday or Saturday. Usually on Sunday they change.

Scott,


I went to Office max.....picked up a pack of Diskettes.....
"Lucky Me" They were having a 2 for 1 sale!!!
They look and work great....much better design then the metal version.
Thanx for the lead!

I just bought a new computer from a California seller on eBay. None of his new computers come with a floppy drive anymore. When I asked how much for a new one ........... he laughed and said "No one uses floppies anymore, I don't even sell them." I had to install one from an old computer I had in the attic. ( I know you can buy new ones.........) Maybe most people don't use floppies anymore, but they must not play a Yamaha or Korg.

Remember they are not "Floppies" but are called "Diskettes"

Charlie,

From what I'm seeing in the computer stores, floppy drives are now considered optional extras, which they charge you five times as much for as they're worth. Just another way to make a few extra bucks from an unsuspecting public. New floppy drives are available from most reputable computer stores and sell for about $15 to $25.

Cheers,

Gary
