Re: 5.25" floppys - are they gone?

[jmholmes@swbell.net (John)]

Ok...  Here's an online link to buy 5.25" Verbatim Floppies...

http://www.lmcomp.com/lmcomp/ver525dsford.html

Also check:

http://www.handtech.com/asp/storefront/genie/default.asp?host=tedmason

change the search by to "DESCRIPTION" and put in 5.25 and towards the bottom 
of the resulting page you will find a LOT of 5.25" floppies for sale...

They all show up as special order, but they CAN be purchased.

Took quite a bit of searching through several online vendors to find these.  
Hope that the information helps someone out! :)
