     Unless they've been stored in a particularly hostile environment,
your old diskettes are likely to be in much better shape than that. Even
so, now would be a good time to get a 100 or so new diskettes and make
backups of favorites. You can, also, archive unprotected diskettes as
.SDK files on 3.5" diskettes, Zip Disk, etc..
