Well, I don't mean to say that it can't be done.  It just isn't as reliable
as using an actaul DD disk.  I will admit, However, that I don't have a lot
of long term floppy storage anyways.  I have been to lazy to get labels and
actually make backups :-)  Also, until I got a Mac, I didn't really use DD
3.5" disks.  I can't stand them on a PC, for some reason.  Maybe because it
is so easy to upgrade to HD on a PC, I guess.
The DD disks pretty rare around here too.  I found two places that carry
them, However.  OfficeMax (expensive) amd Walmart (cheap).  I was very
pleased to find that Walmart carries them at a reasonable price.  If I think
ahead next time I will go mail order.
